If I insert a "TAPE" file, VirtualC64 in the dialog window tells me to insert a disk and not a TAPE.

.t64 filese are seen as disks images ?
Once inserted mancopter.t64 the Virtualc64 does not allow me to eject the tape but the disk, strange thing as if mancopter.t64 was a disk...

MANCOPTR.T64.zip

T64 files are just archives storing multiple separate files in form of byte streams. This means that these files do neither represent a real disk (such as D64 files) or a real tape (such as TAP files). Therefore, it makes most sense to convert them to a disk rather than a tape, but I understand that the button text is misleading (maybe the icon which is showing a tape is misleading, too). I'll change the button text to "Insert as disk" to make it clear that a conversion takes place.
