    Hi,

    I started cdrtfe with administrator privileges and activated the shell
    extensions (got "ShellExtensions registriert."). I closed cdrtfe and rebooted
    but I have no cdrtfe entry in any context menu (files or folders).

    Windows 7 Ultimate german, x64 version.

    Regards,

    Jack

    Hello,

    cdrtfe and the Shell Extension (and all included tools) are pure 32 Bit
    applications. Normally, 32 Bit programs can be started without problems on a
    x64 Windows, but 32 Bit Shell Extensions cannot be used. Unfortunately, I
    can't say when or even if there will be 64 Bit versions of cdrtfe or at least
    cdrtfeShlEx.dll, as there is still no 64 Bit compiler for Delphi.

    Ok, thanks a lot for the fast answer. I'll try to use the "send to" function
    instead.

    Regards,

    Mh, isn't working, too ;(

    I've placed a .lnk to cdrtfe in the
    "%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo" folder with the
    command line option "/data" appended to it but when I select a file and send
    it to this .lnk (via SendTo) nothing happens (apart from the fact that cdrtfe
    is started).

    Am I missing something here?

    P.S.: Placing links in the SendTo folder on my system is a bit more automated.
    I use a .bat script for it that invokes CreateLink.exe (an external command
    line tool) to setup the .lnk file (with all necessary parameters (name of the
    link, command line parameters, execute in directory, which icon should be
    used, etc.) so I didn't create a wrong link for cdrtfe.

    No, you've just found a newly introduced bug, which prevented the processing
    of commandline options.

    Please try this:

    Should it be possible to select e.g. a file, use the SendTo link (with /data)
    and after that, select a different file and use the link a second time to add
    more files to a data cd/dvd?

    If that's the case this isn't working (here).

    The errorlog from cdrtfe can be found here:

    Sorry for this and thank you for your patience. Of course it is possible to
    repeatedly select files and send them via 'Send To ...' to cdrtfe.

    This should work now: http://home.arcor.de/kerberos002/download/cdrtfe-1.3.8.
    1-2.rar

    Works as expected with 1.3.8.1-2. Thank you!

    Can you check something else please?

    cdrtfe.ini:

    BootImage=D:\Tools\WinImage\CD Boot Images

    I modified the .ini file before I open cdrtfe.

    The path is visible in the associated field but when I click on "Auswahl" it
    doesn't open this path (but D:\Temp which I used for several path entries in
    the ini file (e.g. IsoPath=D:\Temp, etc.)).

    Regards,

    Jack

    I cannot edit my previous posting so I'll have to add a new one sigh

    The parameter "VolId=xxx" in the cdrtfe.ini file is not used by cdrtfe. It
    doesn't matter what I use (e.g. VolId=DVD or VolId=DatenCD) the CD label
    inside cdrtfe stays always the same (just "CD").

    It would be nice if we can provide the VolId via command line parameter as
    well:

    e.G.: cdrtfe <datei 1=""> ... <datei n="">

    Regards,

    Jack

    BootImage=D:\Tools\WinImage\CD Boot Images

    BootImage specifies the boot image itself (including the full path), e.g.
    "D:\Tools\WinImage\CD Boot Images\boot.img". Folder paths are not allowed.

    While running, cdrtfe caches the last used folder for each open/save file
    dialog seperately. However, these folder locations are not stored when cdrtfe
    is closed. At least under WinXP the operation system saves the last used
    folder for the application, which is used in cdrtfe as default folder for all
    dialogs directly after being started.

    Maybe it's a good idea, to have the possibility to set specific default
    folders for some dialogs via cdrtfe.ini.

    Thanks for bringing this up. I just cannot believe that nobody has noticed
    this bug before. As far as I can see it has been around since 2004.

    fixed version:

    http://home.arcor.de/kerberos002/download/cdrtfe-1.3.8.1-3.rar

    A future version may have this feature, for now you can use the /load
    parameter and a previously saved project file:

    cdrtfe /data <files to="" add=""> /load <project file.cfp="">

    I'll add a reply to this topic, if I have news regarding the default folders
    or the VolID parameter.

    Regards,

    Oliver

    Folder paths are not allowed.

    folders for some dialogs via cdrtfe.ini

    Would be nice if these restrictions would be lifted in a future version.

    fixed version: ...

    VolID works fine with 1.3.8.1-3

    For each open file dialog you can now specify a default folder in cdrtfe.ini,
    section . The entry has the form DfltDlgFolder<n>=, n = 0 .. 18. Example
    for the boot image dialog: DfltDlgFolder16=D:\Tools\WinImage\CD Boot Images.

    Complete List of supported dialogs:

    DfltDlgFolder0 -> Data disc, file

    DfltDlgFolder1 -> Data disc, folder

    DfltDlgFolder2 -> Data disc, image

    DfltDlgFolder3 -> XCD, file

    DfltDlgFolder4 -> XCD, form2 file

    DfltDlgFolder5 -> XCD, folder

    DfltDlgFolder6 -> XCD, image

    DfltDlgFolder7 -> Audio CD, track

    DfltDlgFolder8 -> Video CD, track

    DfltDlgFolder9 -> Video CD, image

    DfltDlgFolder10 -> CD image

    DfltDlgFolder11 -> CD save image

    DfltDlgFolder12 -> DVD Video, source folder

    DfltDlgFolder13 -> DVD Video, image

    DfltDlgFolder14 -> Project file (load and save)

    DfltDlgFolder15 -> Project file list (load and save)

    DfltDlgFolder16 -> Boot image

    DfltDlgFolder17 -> Save log file

    DfltDlgFolder18 -> Temp folder
