Quick file path navagation in DiscWrite

Postby Perfect Record » Wed Dec 05, 2012 22:17

Please provide a quick means of locating the most recently made .pmi files from the Open Image command in Disc Write.

It could function much like the "recently opened files" sub menu common in the Mac world.

Usually the first thing you do is burn a disc after writing a CD image. If the file location of the just completed CD image could be quickly located, this would be very handy.

Um, it does this already - at least on my system.
Save a pmi in Pyramix, quit, open DiscWrite and the Open Image operation already targets the new pmi.

However, the "Open Recent" idea for DiscWrite is a good one, and could work just like it does for projects in Pyramix itself.

Mine doesn't. Disc Write always goes to the last image I used.

Then I wonder if this isn't the result of some setting in Windows itself - or possibly some utility designed to "streamline" the file management processes of the Windows Explorer...?

It's Windows Explorer behaviour, to be specific. There are various different 'file-managers' available that extend the functions of Windows Explorer.

So Graemme, tell me. If you write a CD image file in Pyramix, then open DiscWrite, does that newly written .pmi file show up as the first choice when you hit the Open Image button?
