Volume existence with no popup requester?
Is it possible to know, if a volume exists without having to live with the popup requester from DOS asking for the volume to be inserted? As far as I can see, ExamineObjectTags do not come with a feature to suppress DOS requesters.

@alfkil 
  1. APTR procWindow = NULL;
  2.  
  3.  
  4. // Disable DOS requesters.
  5. procWindow = IDOS->SetProcWindow((APTR) -1);
  6.  
  7. // Do your ExamineObjectTags() here.
  8.  
  9. // Re-enable DOS requesters.
  10. IDOS->SetProcWindow(procWindow);

If you need a file system and not a handler then trying for a SHARED_LOCK with Lock() might be more appropriate than using ExamineObjectTags() if you don't need the ExamineData structure. Also if the name really must be a volume and not an assign or device or something else you can search the doslist manually using LockDosList()/FindDosEntry()/UnlockDosList(). This is a bit low level but you won't have to disable error requesters then.
