ISF Newbie

ISF Newbie (1/5)

  1. I've used ImgBurn for a while. I've made a donation, a while back. I never asked for help - who needs it really? A "point of pain" for me was always, spanning and filling. A little while ago, I found Dokan and wrote, for my own use, a user-mode filesystem base on it that I called CFS - Chunking File System - to handle this. As a community contribution, I did more work on (double the initial effort) to make it available as a FOSS. So I came back here, never having needed help, and signed up for the forum. I was able to post a New thread, but still, a month and more later, I still cannot reply to any of the folks who are asking for a way to deal with this issue. I see that you have a "rule" about "newbies" not being able to reply to anyone else. Huh. An unusual rule, but, OK, your thing, you rule. But really, it is not true that every new signup to the forum is a rank newbie. Would you like to consider including CFS in the ImgBurn? Or, how long do I need to live before you let me answer the pleas for help in spanning and filling? thanks, -tom-
  2. I've been using ImgBurn for a while, and long wanted a way to split very large files over multiple discs; which of course ImgBurn itself does not do. I wanted to write a filesystem that would make files appear in smaller pieces to any sw including ImgBurn. But, although I am a pro sw developer (meaning I get paid to do it), writing windows drivers was too specialized and too far from my areas of expertise. Not long ago I found Dokan, a driver / library written to allow windows filesystem drivers to be written in "user mode" code and using more ordinary tools and techniques. I wrote a Dokan-based driver for my own use, and used it to make archival copies of hundreds of GB of virtual disk image files. Then I thought, others might like to be able able to do this. I added a gui, ability to "fill" in addition to "span", a few more features pulled from another project (such as, find "good" split points in mpg and transport stream files), and an installer. I've released this app - called ChunkFS - for free and as open source on google code. Folks with "span" and "fill" requiements may want to consider trying it out. http://code.google.com/p/chunking-filesystem/ BUT PLEASE: use all due care, considering that it is "new" and "beta level" software. As we say, "this software is made available in the hope that is may be useful, but without warranty of any kind".
