Description

Ditto as title stated. It would be convenient for this feature to be used on fdd~ core to swap on both disk in just one interface.

While were here, might as well request to be able to view the currently loaded disk (filename perhaps or label if used) without having to eject disk first and going to current disk index

Research direction

Start by tracing RetroArch's disk control interface and its integration with fdd~ cores. Define how one interface should swap two or more disk targets and how the currently loaded disk's filename or label should be exposed; done means both capabilities work without ejecting to inspect the disk index.
