Unable to recognize the saved folder.
Other Puppylinux can recognize the name of the saved folder, such as aaasave, but this one doesn't work. It doesn't mount the data already saved in the folder when booting up/copy/aaasave

How can I automatically identify and mount saved data?
I want it to automatically mount all the data in the/copy installation directory, regardless of the folder name. How should I modify it?

Are you trying to use a save folder you made and named it aaasave?

If yes.

What is in it?

@linuxunix if u r using bookwormpup64, it will only load saved folders that start with name "dpupsave-*" you may want to rename it "dpupsave-sssave" and reboot.

When shutting down, saving data in a folder, I usually name it aaasave. In other Puppy Linux, it can be recognized and booted normally during startup, but it cannot recognize the mount when Bookworm Pup64 starts up. How should it recognize it?

Savefolder
I don't like to add a "-" line in the saved folder, for example, I like aaabbbsave. How can I modify it to ensure that it will load when I start up?

I hope that the XXXSave directory under the installation Puppy directory can be recognized and mounted. How should I modify it?

How is Bookworm Pup64 installed?
How did you do the install?
What type drive?
Specific details?

Are you using the latest version of Bookworm Pup64?

Normally when you do the first shutdown of Bookworm Pup64 and are asked to make a save.
When you get to the point of asked to name it.
What you put as a name is added to the full required name of the save folder.
Example:
you say you added the name aaasave
So the save should be named
dpupsave-aaasave

When you made the save did you place it on the same drive and partition the Bookworm Pup64 files are on?

That is how it is setup to properly work in naming a save.

The name starts with the name the operating system is designed to look for and use (dpupsave) for Bookworm Pup64.

If you want to give it more of a different name it still has to start the name as dpupsave- (with whatever more you want to add to it)

This is by design, so the boot process only looks for specific save files/folders made for that specific Puppy version.

There is no universal save file or folder that works in all Puppy versions.
If you are trying to have one.
STOP!

Each one has a specific name for the save it uses.
The save needs to be made by and specific for the Puppy version it will be used on.

Dpupsave aaaasave
I don't like such a long name, sometimes it's difficult to remember using multiple backups for different purposes.
I just want to know, I like aaasave, bbbsave, cccsave, and how should I modify folders with different names?
Or just use the aaasave folder, who can help modify it.
I just need to guide the name of the aaasave folder or other folder for saving data. How should I modify it?

@linuxunix just to test it change the save folder name as previously suggested and see if loads up during boot. If loads properly then u can change the name of the folder e.g dpupsave-aa but must retain the same "dpupsave" in case of bookworm. Name of the save folder cannot have an empty space...

If you are trying to have multiple save folders, so you can choose which one to use at boot up.

For Bookworm Pup64

Make the names of the different saves.

1, 2, 3, 4, etc..........

dpupsave-1
dpupsave-2
dpupsave-3
etc..........

What exactly are you wanting to do?

Have multiple backups of the save?

Have multiple saves you can choose to use?

Have a directory to store data in?
