#1 Burning Software

Hi Everyone,

I have been searching the help files and documentation for this information so if I have missed it please excuse me.

Basically I'm creating a CD (or ISO file) using StarBurn_ISO9660JolietFileTree_Create() and I was wondering if it was possible to perform verification on the files that are added during the callback?

I.e. when CallbackNumber == CN_FILE_TREE_PROGRESS_ADD would it be possible to say disallow the addition of that file?

So let's say I wanted to ignore all hidden files, or all files with a certain file extension or file name (like let's say thumbs.db) would this be possible?

Thanks in advance so any hints or tips if there is a better way to perform this verification, but since we use a lot of nested files and folders I like being able to add them in one fell swoop.

No, it's not possible to do this. Until the tree is not "fixated" you cannot read it's content. Just use IsLocked = TRUE and it will be StarBurn taking care of the file being read and locked.

P.S. And PLEASE write to the right group

Hi Anton,

Thanks for the reply, and sorry the posting into the wrong group.

I'm not sure that I understand your reply, are you saying that there is no way to do this? Or that I should do it in a different manner?

Should I populate the tree first, then search through it for specific files or extensions and then remove those files?

Or do I have to do the processing and validation prior to adding the files to the file tree?

Thanks,

That's my fault, I did not get the question

You can either add files manually (one-by-one) if you have build own file tree or you can use automatic mode adding everything and removing unneeded files after tree built is done. In you case I'd keep a list of the unallowed files (process it in the _ADD callback) and remove them after tree filling is complete

Hi Anton,

Thanks for the reply!

So what you are saying is that I should build the tree as I am, but take note of files that I wish to remove in the _ADD callback (CallbackNumber == CN_FILE_TREE_PROGRESS_ADD) and then remove the files once the full tree is built?

Now how should I take note of the files that I need to remove? Since StarBurn_ISO9660JolietFileTree_Remove() takes: p__PPVOID__ISO9660JolietFileTreeNode - Pointer to pointer to the ISO9660 or Joliet file tree node object

Is this sent to the callback? Can I trap it there? Or do I have to loop through the created tree?

Sorry for all of the questions but I am relatively new to the SDK and I am still unsure of all the options.

Yes, you need to parse the tree...

It's OK
