• Re: file_id.diz - was IcyBoard 0.1.6 release

    I wish file_id.diz would be more widely accepted and used. Especially
    with scene releases or art packs, etc., how often is it not even a zip archive, making it impossible to add a file_id.diz in the first place,
    or if there is one, people get creative with it but don't include any information about the release.
    It's a real shame that file_id.diz is given so little attention.
    Oh, and when file_id.diz is actually used for information about the release, the standard height and width of 10x45 is definitely not
    adhered to (although I think a little more height would be okay).

    jACK pHLASH or xtqr did a nice Blog Post about the FILE_ID.DIZ format... I'll try to find the link - or if it was jP, I'm sure he could link it.

    It was a good read... wait; it MAY HAVE been the dev of ENiGMA.5 - someone did, tho.

    Yeah I'm pretty sure it was NuSkooler but can't seem to find it at
    present.
