Cynthia Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 In the Supported Command Line Switches there is the "/CLOSE" command that is used to close the program when the burn process has finished. From what I understand this will close down the program even if there is a verify error reported or another error (?). What I would like to see is a setting in the GUI that allows you to have the program closed automatically for you if there are no errors reported.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 No, close doesn't do anything if there was an error. Add /close to your shortcut if you want that functionality all the time Can I ask, in what situation would you find this useful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted November 13, 2005 Author Share Posted November 13, 2005 I'm lazy... When I want to burn an image file - I just double click on the file and let the program start. So more or less - if the burning went ok - that I don't have to close the program manually. The disc is just ejected and you're done. As the SCL switch don't report back on write/verify errors - I don't like to do it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Peter, There's no reason I can think of that your computer wouldn't shut down if ImgBurn is done burning and something else tries to shut it down. Cynthia, Ah yes, sorry, I thought /CLOSE only closed the program if it was successful. However, success/failure of the burn is only checked by the 'shutdown computer when done' bit of code. I personally think this feature would be useful to very few people... I can't think of many/any other tools that work in such a way! As such, I'm hesitant to add it to the GUI. I could offer an extended /CLOSE switch (i.e. /CLOSESUCCESS) that only closes if it was successful. Of course modifying your shortcut to pass that flag would then mean you couldn't turn it off within the GUI and that'll probably end up annoying you/people too - Doh! So basically, I think you're gonna have to live with clicking the little red X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfcrule1972 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Ah nice - it will soon be Xmas Smilie time again..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Ok Cynthia, I've added that switch for you. Lucky I did actually, I found some problems with the normal /CLOSE switch that had come about because of the new queue system! So 'Thanks' !

Cynthia Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 (edited) Very nice - Thank you very much! Edited November 15, 2005 by cynthia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Thanks for the latest version - looks very nice. Trying to apply this new command so when you double click on an .iso file (that today launches ImgBurn) to include this new option: /CLOSESUCCESS Used to close the program when the burn process has finished AND was successful. Basically, it just presses the 'Close' button for you! Tried to change the value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\.iso\Shell\Burn using ImgBurn\Command with the string "C:\Program\ImgBurn\ImgBurn.exe" /MODE ISOWRITE /SOURCE "%1" to "C:\Program\ImgBurn\ImgBurn.exe" /MODE ISOWRITE /SOURCE "%1" /CLOSESUCCESS The problem is that it changes back to the old string value. Is this Windows or ImgBurn that restores it? Or I'm I just doing it wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Seems that it's ImgBurn that restores that value to default value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Yeah those reg entries get added/deleted when the settings are saved - as that's what they're based around. You could add you own one to the registry in a similar fashion though. Maybe... 'Burn (and close) using ImgBurn'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) Got it to work. Nice to only have to insert an empty disc - double click on the .iso file - done. /CLOSESUCCESS Edited December 3, 2005 by cynthia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
