  1. Lightning UK, thanks for your answer. Yes, i agree with you. Ok, i'll quietly wait for that change. Have a nice day. Regards. JDaniele
  2. Thanks blutach! Yes, for sure. I think ImgBurn would be the Nero killer, with a little bit better GUI. Yes, i could but....when i drag a folder containing subfolders and files, I can't see wich files and subfolders i got nor i can see the size of each folder. OK blutach, maybe i have to explain me better showing you some workflow example. What i usually try to do is to fill up any DVD nearly to its maximum capacity. Rarely i leave more than 15-20 MB unused. To success in this process, i have to try several file and directory structure combinations until i reach the best one. So i add some dir, then delete some sub dir.....no, let me try to reinsert this e leave that one out, and so on.... Having the entire view of current directory tree and size of each subfolder and file, help me a lot. Explorer, for example, does not have the same flexibility to see the size of every subfolder at once. The only way would be to create the exact directory structure on the HD and then drag its root in ImgBurn, but composing it would be very difficult without the automatic calculation of total tree size. I whould have to check it again and again, many times, moving dirs back and forth. Too much time consuming and error prone, IMHO. In my workflow i have 3 main directories: DanyToCheck DanyXDVD Dany The first one is where all downloaded files (and subdirs) will be stored. From there i start to organize, file by file (checking it out and renaming it if necessary) and dir by dir, the intermediate shape of group of application or document files locally linked. As soon as a dir or group of file is ready to be burned, i move them in DanyXDVD. So DanyXDVD contains only ready to be burned files and dirs. Usually this directory grows a lot, with a large number of files. For example now is about 15 GB and DanyToCheck is over 180 GB. Then i start to pick up group of files and dirs logically connected, adding them to a fresh new DVD project in Nero. The root directory of DVD will be named "Dany" as the name of final destination (so it has a different name than the source dir "DanyXDVD"). After a DVD has been burned, its contents is indexed by Cathy (a simple and powerful catalog application) and all corresponding files contained in DanyXDVD will be moved to Dany (my library root directory for definitve storage). And the process starts again for the next DVD, pickinig up files from DanyXDVD until there are enough files. If not, i go back to DanyToCheck. Now i think you can better understand that the whole process is not so simple to do with Nero and would be nearly impossible to do using ImgBurn and its build user interface. Bye
  3. Hi, this is my first post. I've just subscribed this forum to say: PLEASE, make a build user interface like Nero! I usually build backups of my files with Nero. I have tons of files, folders and subfolders all around my disks that i organize in a precise stuctured tree when it's time to burn. Using Nero is very easy and straightforward, having a double explorer interface to pick-up files and create folders and trees as i need on the other side. On my 24" full HD LCD, the Nero interface fits very well, letting me to have a "bird sight" to the overall tree structures. I think ImgBurn is a great software, very stable and with a lot of features, and I wanna take advantage of this opportunity to thanks all developers and beta testers, spending their time on this product. The only thing it lacks is an intuitive user inteface for building CD/DVD projects. When I switched to the ImgBurn's build page for the first time, i wandered how to use it: nearly useless for my needs!!! A very little white box, even without the ability to see a tree of the CD/DVD. No guys, i'm very sorry, but i can't use it. So, please, let me hope a day, not too far, i will see ImgBurn with a build interface at the same quality level of the rest of this product. That day, i will unistall the bloated buggy monster called Nero. Since that day, I'll be forced using ImgBurn just to write ISO images created with Nero. And that is a pity!!!! Bye and have a nice develop day... JDaniele
