Bert75 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I tried by different means to drag and drop a directory, but it always ends up with a very partial copy (400k instead of the expected 3.9 GB !). It must be me, but I can't find a simpler thing to do or another way to do it. It seems that I only get one level of hierarchy, and empty sub-directories. OS = Win-XP French up-to-date, ImgBurn 2.5.1.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 It's probably due to the options on the 'Options' tab. Look in the log window, it might give you some clues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert75 Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 > It's probably due to the options on the 'Options' tab. Tools > Settings ? I checked there first but didn't see any option that seemed related to the problem. Anyway, I just tried to restore settings to all defaults: no change. If I drop a full hierarchy, Imgburn doesn't see it. (only the first level) Maybe Imgburn does only accept single files and no directory tree ? Look in the log window, it might give you some clues. No clue there. It just reports a very wrong size after calculation. I suspect ImgBurn has trouble with hierarchy or with very big files... I installed CD Burner XP, did the same drag & drop and burned the full DVD no problem. So I probably have the solution to my problem :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 No, not Tools -> Settings, just the 'Options' tab on the main screen. (Where the Information, Labels, Advanced tabs are) Maybe you've checked/enabled the 'Include Archive Files Only' box? The program can only do what you tell it and it has no trouble with hundreds of thousands of files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert75 Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 > Maybe you've checked/enabled the 'Include Archive Files Only' box? You were basically right : that was simply the default option "Recurse Subdirectories" which, for some reason, was unchecked !!! And Imgburn did exactly that: it ignored the subdirectories. This is an extremely dangerous option IMO. And the options tab was not visible in Ez-Mode Picker :-( I don't remember having unchecked the option, but it happened obviously. Thanks for your outstanding support. :-) Bert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
