[LUA] disk.hasData("right") returns true on brand new floppy

Using TMI to generate a brand new floppy, putting it into a drive, then using disk.hasData("right") returns true. How would I get it to return false? I've checked the %APPDATA%/.minecraft/saves/test/disk/15 folder, and it's empty (as expected), and disk.getLabel("right") returns null.

Try making one without using TMI and see if it has the same problem. It's probably an issue with the TMI crafted item.

I don't think that's what the function is made for. It returns true if there's a floppy disk on the drive, not if it has files on it. It would only return false if there's no disk or there's a music cd. To check if it has files you can do something like this:

function DiskHasData(side)
  if disk.isPresent(side) and disk.hasData(side) then
    local list = fs.list(disk.getMountPath(side))
    return #list ~= 0
  end
  return false
end

Yes, that works perfectly. Thanks!

As far as i remember from diggout through code that method checks if there exist directory for inserted disk.
And folder for disk is created ehen you put it into disk drive :)/>/> so it returned allways true even for empty disks
