May I ask you to implement option for adding multiple versions of iso from one program ?
For example adding Hirens Boot CD 10 and 12. Also I think that there is more utilization of this function for example x86 vs. x64.
Or you can show message that only one iso was added and which of them.

In XBoot you can add multiple edition of same ISO file like

1)clonezilla-live-maverick.iso
2)clonezilla-live-1.2.6-40-i486.iso
3)clonezilla-live-1.2.6-40-amd64.iso

but you can not add different versions of same edition like

1)clonezilla-live-1.2.6-40-i486.iso
2)clonezilla-live-2.2.6-40-i486.iso
3)clonezilla-live-3.2.6-40-i486.iso

if you try to add different versions of same edition of ISO file , they will be overwritten. This method is utilized for updating old ISO files.

Like if you have installed clonezilla-live-1.2.6-40-i486.iso and then later you try to add clonezilla-live-2.2.6-40-i486.iso , then ISo file which is added later will update the older ISO file.


Adding different version of same edition of ISO file is not of much use.
it waste spaces and nothing else. though there may be some rare cases where it might need , like in case where some functionality is removed in new version of an ISO file.
You can report me those cases.I will make exception for them.

Thank you for explanation.
As I know one example could be Hirens boot CD 10.6 vs 12.0, but you can forget about it, I can add it manualy.

Anyway if you want to add multiple version of same ISO files.just add any random alphabets to the name of ISO file so that XBoot treat is as the different edition of same ISO file.

For example change name of Hiren's.BootCD.10.6.iso to Hiren's.BootCD.Legacy.10.6.iso.That way Hiren's.BootCD.Legacy.10.6.iso will be treated as different edition of Hiren's.BootCD.13.0.iso and will not be overwritten.

Same trick can be used for other ISO files too.
