A mapping between host/RO filetypes would be nice - but there are some issues - for example there are multiple RISC OS filetypes for ASCII text depending on the EOL convention.
I also continue to notice the Escape key not working on rare occasions but so far no obvious rhyme or reason to it.

Hi Andre, thanks for the testing, on this matter I have an idea for a more
comprehensive change to the way models are configured. But this will be
in several releases time as there is prep work to support it first.

This I suspect will never happen, it's difficult enough to create a
filesystem that's RISC OS compliant without the extra headache of being
compatible with a variety of host OSes requirements too. This is mainly
due to my extremely poor experiences with the highly configurable hostfs
provided with red squirrel and various versions of Virtual Acorn where
they ended up not even being compatible with each other.

I have noticed this too occasionally, but have not been able to reproduce
recently. When I did have it failing, it worked for a while then
failed later. As such if you have any advice on how to reproduce it,
please let me know.

Oh well spotted, this is not a new bug, but caused by needing to implement
part of 'follows host mouse' even when not using that (fullscreen mode
does not use 'follows host mouse'. There will be a fix for this in the
next version.

Annoyingly this is associated with the other fix of reducing the 'lag' in
the sound you mentioned. I need to do a proper fix by triggering the sound
interupts when data in consumed rather than just on a timer. However this
is not going to be fixed by the next release version. There is a
workaround (and you are allowed to be annoyed by me suggesting it) in that
if you run it on a faster processor the timers smooth out and you get
stutter free sound, it's not a great solution :)
