glut Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Hi, First off thank you for such a good piece of software. I was wondering if there's an API for the engine? or an API for ImgBurn? Or anything that would allow using the burning capabilities from a third party software? Thanks!
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 20, 2007 Posted January 20, 2007 Only the CLI commands - which you can read about in the 'readme.txt' file that gets installed alongside the exe.
glut Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) Thanks! I played with the switches a bit, they seem to work ok. A few things though, I couldn't get the "/INFO <file>" to work (probably my mistake), if I'm creating an ISO and the /SRC is not found and /CLOSE is specified the app doesn't exit, and when you close it manually the %ERRORLEVEL% is zero. Well, I understand that command line support is not the main feature =) I also wanted to suggest to have a parameter like /3DPARTYHWND which seems to me the easiest way to set up a communication between two apps (although COM would be great too =), then ImgBurn could SendMessage() different stuff to the app, like progress, etc in that case the main and progress windows may be hidden, instead a small window with ImgBurn copyrights etc could be show to give the credit to the author, hiding ImgBurn windows and using the app's ones may somewhat help with localization as well. I realize that this will probably not happen soon (if ever).. But if it does this will make ImgBurn invaluable =) Once again, thank you for an awesome software. Edited January 22, 2007 by glut
zacoz Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 One wonders how many ImgBurn GUI's would suddenly be for sale on the net with that sort of functionality implemented. PS. This isn't a judgement on glut's intentions.
JordanB Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 This would actually be very helpful for us in a corporate environment, and would definitely be a feature we'd pay for. Specifically, we'd like to give the user a no-frills interface (or auto-schedule a service to run) which would back up a set list of critical files to DVD. There are a lot of burning APIs out there, but most of them are overpriced and buggy or bloated. Cheers, Jordan.
blutach Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Jordan, Send a PM to LUK! and he might develop something for your company. But, don't forget about IBB project files combined with Scheduled tasks, to backup critical files. The IBB file is quite powerful. Regards
