A concern on FATDOG 'Multi' Save-session name change
This is show a change I've noticed on one of my PCs that I run FATDOG on.
Have the FATDOG session names changed or is it because I have a test release?

@Clarity
here are my observations about the multi sfs names.
I never specify the name of the multi sfs's, because they are in their own folder.
Mostly I boot Fatdog from hard drive with extlinux using parameter savefile=direct:multi:sda6:/fd64_812/:
The system creates multi sfs's in this format (without a name): multi--2021....
I have one usb stick (say backup), also with extlinux. The boot parameter for the save is practically identical as for the hard drive:
savefile=direct:multi:sdb2:/fd64_812/:
In this case the system creates multi sfs's with the name "fd64save" automatically (multi-fd64save-2021.....).
I found out this when transfering multi sfs's from the hard drive to the stick.
It didn't boot because of the name (so the renaming helped).

No, the savefile proto is defined in /etc/BOOTSTATE and it's still fd64save:
Code: Select all
# grep 'SAVEFILE_PROTO' /etc/BOOTSTATE
SAVEFILE_PROTO='/fd64save.ext4'
I think it switched to Sessions for you when you used that boot option:
Code: Select all
savefile=direct:device:sda7:Sessions
