#6349 — Best method for making disk images for new programs?

Hi all, I've been making some programs with CC65 and CL65.
Is there a preferred method for making disk images of
them? I know I can probably do it with a combo of Ciderpress
and Apple Commander, but I wonder if that is the best way
to do it. I've seen some works that have multiple size
disk images and I imagine there must be some automation
there. ProDOS only, and my setup is a //e with CFFA3000.

Thanks, Matt

I make my floppy images with AppleCommander and my HD images with
CiderPress. Automation via Makefiles (copy a blank disk to the target
disk, and add the files on the disk). Both work well.

Example:

Thanks for the help! The Apple II projects you have on your
website look pretty cool, I must say. I've been doing some
similar things with Uthernet II (like writing this message).

Nice Github site you have there.  I use Brutal Deluxe's Cadius to 
programmatically build .dsk images of my Apple II projects that I build 
using makefiles: 
https://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/products/crossdevtools/cadius/index.html


It's a great tool, and let's me quickly go from PC to loading an Apple 
II .dsk image to test.
