Plugin Architecture

DIMG has been designed with a modular architecture to allow various components to be upgraded or replaced without requiring major changes to other components.

At this time there are four main components:

  1. DIMG - the main program
  2. Filesystem plugin - Provides access to a disk images filesystem
  3. Drive Access plugin - Provides access to the systems floppy drives.
  4. Image Format plugin(s) - One or more plugins to provide support for image file formats.

At this stage only one Filesystem plugin and one Drive Access plugin can be active at a time. That means that DIMG can only support a single filesystem at a time - if you replace the FAT12 filesystem plugin with an HFS one you will no longer be able to see the contents of FAT12 disks.
