Hi!

I'm using VICE in many ways and have items in context menu also keyboard keystrokes.
Specifying drive type by -drive8type... makes for me more items in menu and more keystrokes...
VICE uses mounting diskimage by -8 "filename" (or -9 etc.)
Very useful can be autodetect drive type by disk image which will be temporary changed until VICE isn't closed.
For example config is: drive 8 = FD-4000, 9 = 1541
command -8 "disk.d71" attach nothing 'cause FD-4000 doesn-t support D71 image
it is possible to do by -drive8type 1571 -8 "disk.d71
nice and useful will be (only example) +8 "disk.d71" which detects image type and changes temporary drive to 1571, if used emulator cannot have 1571 connected, it attach nothing,
simple change -8 to +8 - it's similar to enable/disable option.

I have question to VICE emulation but nowhere found any possibility to ask anything.
If you can please reply to me answers to this Q:
How to use Windows shortcuts defined and possible to personalize in VSC file - I mean not how to personalize it, but where to place any "config" file ?

Thank you boys for perfect work!

    autostart does now switch drive type automatically
