Treat Images Like Files

[calweycn]

Would it be possible to treat an image like files, so that it could be

padded or have a new layer break set, for instance? It seems this

should work, in theory. Just read files from the image, and build a

new disk from that. This would give us more flexibility for images,

to either burn them as they are or pad the files and change layer

break settings on-the-fly. Can this be done?

With enough time and effort, anything is possible.

 

This isn't something I would do though.

i think that is good up to a point, but if it is at all implimented it should be an option at least for dvd-video iso.

 

thanks

I don't see why it would take much time and effort. ImgBurn can read ISO

files already. All it needs to do is look at the file sizes, like it does anyway,

and create a new image structure. You can mount the image with D-Tools

and use the root directory as your source in Build Mode. That will achieve

the same result I'm talking about. But it'd be better if ImgBurn supported

it directly. If you can read images, most of the work has been done.

Do you really figure if you prod enough it will happen?...What is it about the answer that LUK gave you that you do not understand?

The no bit, spinner.

No, I figure that LUK will just refuse to do anything I suggest, because he has

a personal problem. I think his claims that it would be difficult to do are false.

It would be no more difficult than reading the files on an ISO, which ImgBurn

already does. If I prod enough, he may begin to think outside of the box he

seems to be operating from or at least admit the reason he doesn't want to

implement such a trivial and useful feature.

 

What is it about the answer that LUK gave you that you do not understand?

 

What about the answer that LUK gave me are you able to understand? Is it

that difficult to READ FILES from an ISO? That's shocking. I wonder how on

Earth programs like WinRAR and ISO Buster were able to reach this level of

sophistication, when the author of a burning program sees it as a challenge.

I understand that LUK doesn't want to do it for some reason. I think it would

be as simple as plugging one piece of existing code into another. His answer

didn't have enough substance for me to understand. EDIT

The no bit, spinner. EDIT

Wrong again, Blutach. I don't understand where's the challenge in

READING FILES from an ISO. Perhaps you can provide a superior

explanation to "With enough time and effort, anything is possible."

Are you up for that challenge, or will you just continue taking the

easy way out by simply attacking people?

 

Whinge whinge whinge.

 

My, aren't you helpful? Don't bother adding any substance to the

discussion. Just attack me and walk away. Is that what it takes

to get your kicks? Does it compensate for your life? I don't care

what LUK does. I suggest something that seems useful and easy

to implement. I get a dismissive answer. Then I'm told that what

I don't understand is "the no bit." Do you understand how wrong

your condescending characterizations are?

Understand this. It's LUK!'s program. It's his to do with what he wants. He's written every line of code in it and you are getting his expertise and incredibly hard work for free.

 

And you have the gall to sit there and order people around and tell them what you want and hold your breath and stamp your feet if you don't get it.

 

Your behaviour here is as unbelievable as it is reprehensible and childish. Normally, when I encounter this behaviour I tell the offender to go to his room.

 

Now, if this program does not suit your needs - fgs, go buy one that does (or get your mom to do so).

 

But stop the complaining.

 

You made a suggestion. It was answered by the author. Subject should be closed.

I'm not asking for his expertise or hard work. That's his choice to give.

I have no trouble understanding that he wrote it. That's irrelevant, tho

you seem to use this justification every chance you get.

 

And you have the gall to sit there and order people around and tell them what you want and hold your breath and stamp your feet if you don't get it.

I'm having trouble seeing where I have "ordered" him to do anything,

or said I would "hold my breath and stamp my feet" if he didn't do it.

Perhaps you can quote the relevant lines where I made such orders,

threats, or ultimatums. If not, kindly omit such junk from your posts.

You aren't fooling anybody. Have some decency.

 

Your behaviour here is as unbelievable as it is reprehensible and childish. Normally, when I encounter this behaviour I tell the offender to go to his room.

 

Your responses are as empty and distorted as they are insubstantial.

That's what happens when you completely ignore what I say and go

off on a rant about what you imagined about me. Go back and read

what I said. I am not doing anything childish. You can choose not to

read or respond to me if you don't like me. I'd *prefer* that to this

drivel you keep posting and attributing to me.

 

Now, if this program does not suit your needs - fgs, go buy

one that does (or get your mom to do so).

Why not just respond to what I say in a charitable and rational way,

or else leave it alone? Making up lies doesn't improve your standing.

Look at yourself and stop judging your neighbor.

 

But stop the complaining.

 

Show me where I have complained. Like everything else, you are

just distorting what I said and changing the meanings of words. To

complain means "To express feelings of pain, dissatisfaction, or

resentment." Where have I expressed pain, dissatisfaction, or

resentment? I made a suggestion. I asked for an explanation. I

think what you mean is that you don't want anybody questioning

LUK et al. It has nothing to do with complaining.

 

You made a suggestion. It was answered by the author. Subject should be closed.

 

Fine, the subject can be closed in your mind and LUK's. That's your

choice. The answer was dismissive and trite. "With enough time &

effort - I don't want to do it." You refuse to actually engage in civil

or logical discussion. You attack anyone who goes against the grain

here..You can believe what you want about me, but you clearly do

not know anything about me. You don't even quote my messages.

Just distort them with a lot of lies. Very unimpressive.
