jockel Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Hi, sorry if I simply do not find the right button to adjust the view accordingly! If I burn a collection of files to CD/DVD I can see the original location of the files as they appear on my harddrive in imgburn-source-pane. These may be quite different originating paths. Is there a way to alternatively switch this window-view, so I can see the files and folders as they will appear on CD/DVD after burning this disk? Yes, I had a look through the guides but simply could not find any matching setting/button. Thanks! Jockel
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Think of that 'source' box as the root of the disc. If you drag 'c:\my documents\photos\' into it, you'll end up with: '\photos\' on the disc (in the root) - unless of course you enable 'preserve full pathnames' in which case you'll have '\my documents\photos\' Until you get the hang of it, you can always just make an ISO, mount it in a virtual drive program and view it via explorer. (or burn to a rewritable)
jockel Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 Hi LIGHTNING UK! Think of that 'source' box as the root of the disc..... Certainly I know how to and can figure that out! But to simply check the correct arrangement of folders and files, It would ease my life to switch from the source-path window between these two views. It is great to see the originating path of data, but to verify arrangement with "just a click" would help me a lot.. As of the real purpose I have to "compose" setup CDs, using the contents of different folders and the correct arrangement (paths) of files and folders is essential for the proper functioning of the setups. Maybe this would be helpful for others too, please see below: Anyway, with or without that feature, thank you for a great software!
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 As it currently stands, ImgBurn's Build mode is best used with an existing folder structure. (as that's what it was designed for) The layout you're after would really come when it's had a rewrite to let you add/rename folders etc.
jockel Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 Hi, o.k. and sorry, did not expect this to be a big problem to program with the existing code! Thank you for looking ino it! Jockel
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Well it is and it isn't. I'm just of the frame of mind that if I'm going to start messing with it then I might aswell do it properly.
jockel Posted April 17, 2008 Author Posted April 17, 2008 Hi, I'm just of the frame of mind that if I'm going to start messing with it then I might aswell do it properly. This attitude is highly appreciated. So maybe keep the idea in mind if it comes to revamping related portions of code ;-) Jockel
