    I'm experiencing issues when using decb to write files to 35-track disk images, where decb will attempt to fit the file at the end of the disk image. If there aren't enough free granules/sectors at the end of the disk to fit the file, instead of decb looking for other free granules on the disk, it will append granules to the disk image. When exhibiting this behavior, it will also truncate the file to the nearest granule size - that is, if a file requires more than one full granule but less than two granules, it will truncate everything after appending the single granule.

    The command that I use to write files to disk images is typically:
    decb copy -2 -b -r %binary_path% %disk_path%,%filename%.BIN

    I'm using the latest build of decb (v2.2 snapshot 20230717)

    Please file a new "Bugs" ticket, and provide complete steps to reproduce, including disk image formatting/init and exact file sizes (or sample images and files).
