  Description: Browser add-on: sets SID tune name as filename
        Notes: Ever got a SID tune with those silly 8.3-DOS-filenames?
               Here´s the solution.

Introduction:

Ever got a SID tune with those silly 8.3-DOS-filenames? Here´s the solution.

Installation:

Unzip the archive (you should have already done this, as you read this text :-).
Place nameSID in /boot/system/add-ons/Browser/.
Perhaps add a shortcut to the filename (eg. 'nameSID-s' to activate it with <ALT-s>.

Usage:

Select one or a couple of SID tunes files in the browser and and press down the right mouse button. The next step is to select <Add-Ons|nameSID>. nameSID checks the ID 'PSID' and then sets type ('PSID') and creator (SIDPlayer: 'SidP'). Then it reads the SID tune name and tries to set it as filename.
