  1. Sorry guys... Getting onto the Beta Group was just an idea to see this feature... Anyway... I am glad you do have a changer, that certainly makes the development process easier. Have you given any thought to how the program will handle multiple changers ? That is where my application started to have new issues... If you are opening the changer using a device name (like CHANGER0) you may bump into the problems I had as well because the bus assigns those based on response times. Is there a target date for the ImgBurn release with this feature ? (No pressure, just curious) I was momentarily blinded by AlterCuno's Icon and picture. If 'those' are yours how do you find time for computer geekery at all !!
  2. Oh well... Way too rich for my blood. I guess I will just have to await the new version eagerly like most users. I will still donate again to support this great tool. (is that 2Mill or 2Thousand) Keep up the good work guys, ImgBurn is definitely the most reliable recording tool I have in my toolkit and I will continue to regularly recommend it to anyone looking for CD/DVD software. I also very much appreciate the fact that it doesn't insist on installing piles of filters and drivers to do its work. PS: I do think that the ability to queue up external commands (using a wait for termination wrapper function around the spawned process) would make a great addition to ImgBurn. It would certainly have applications beyond changer control that could help better automate lots of activities.
  3. I suspected that was be the case for the addressing, but I wanted to be sure I didn't just screw the pooch in the code... The SBP2 driver (firewire) definitely returns zeroes for everything. The reason I was asking was because it also assigns device names based on the order of replies which means that on a system with many devices of the same class the device names tend to change. I was looking for a way around that... In the case of these changers I use the serial numbers, but many devices do not have that so I was hoping for a more general purpose method... As far as playing with it... I meant the version of the program that supports the changer, but I see I need to be specific around here to avoid the jokers. You got me though, I tend to be the one making the wise cracks, and it definitely feels different from the other side... PS: If I donate again personally (I made company donations in the past) can I join the beta group...
  4. Sounds very cool... How can I play with it... (or can I). I know what you mean about aaagges. My app loads media and uses CDDB or the WinMedia site to ID it and retreive metadata. Setting up a library this way is a neat idea but requires hours of time to do making it a painful process. Oooh since you are around are an expert with this stuff... Do you know if there is a way programmatically to get accurate bus addressing information for firewire or USB devices (yeah, it is a question related to the changer app I have been building).
  5. I am new on this forum, but I have been working on a standalone GUI app to control the Sony changer for the past few weeks and using ImgBurn for some time. Rather than rebuilding the entire wheel Lightning UK could add the capability to run an external utility from the queue (if it's not already present). There are several utilities that can handle the changer control part of this including mtx and mediachanger.exe. This woudl allow users to could create a sort of 'script' using the queue and by using the CLI utilities to change slots they would get full use of the changer. I'm all for a UI, but in conjunction with your queue mechanism you would probably get flexibilty that would require more work in a GUI (for example the ability to target disjoint slots or make varying numbers of copies of each image). This could prove to be very useful... Using this method would also free Lighning UK from having to support what could become a growing class of devices in the coming years. Having said that, how could I become a part of the Beta test group ? [i am dying to play with this] PS: ImgBurn is a truly excellent product and everyone should donate.
