The following dialog pages can be used to change the settings of the CDWFS file
system or perform frequently used tasks:
Dialog page Purpose
General Drive letter and cache parameters; attaching and detaching of
CDWFS drives.
Recorder CD recorder und file system settings
Status "checkdisk" for CDWFS drives.
Info Version and copyright information.
Parameters changed in the settings notebook of a CDWFS drive object are, as
far as possible, immediately active. After the drive is detached (finalized),
the CDWFS standard settings apply again.
Use the RSJ CD-Writer Control applet to adjust CDWFS standard parameters.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. "General" dialog page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Note: If this dialog is part of a CDWFS drive's settings notebook, no
options are available. However, the drive can be detached
(finalized) here.
See also: general information
Drive letter
Selects the drive letter to be used by the attach/detach button. Only free or
CDWFS drive letters can be selected. See the description of the Attach
now/Finalize button below for further information.
Attach now
Shows the Attach dialog. This button is labeled Finalize if the selected drive
letter is a CDWFS drive (see below).
Finalize
Causes the Finalize dialog to appear. This button is labeled Attach now if the
selected drive letter is not in use (see above).
Hard disk cache
Path Temporary CD-Writer cache files will be stored in this directory.
The disk space available on this drive should be about 4 times
larger than the cache size (below), so that further cache files
can be created while the previous files are written to the CD
recorder. If there's not enough space available, the copy process
will be interrupted for a short time (without the risk of data
loss).
Size Enter the desired cache size here. If a file larger than this size
is copied, the cache size will be enlarged automatically. A larger
cache size setting results in less tracks on the CD.
Default Inserts the default value for this parameter.
RAM Cache
Size This value specifies the size of the cache buffer used while cache
files are copied to the recorder. A faster recording speed
requires a larger cache buffer size. Double speed (2x=150k/sec)
requires a cache size of about 2048-4096KB, quad speed (4x) at
least 4096kb.
Default. Inserts the default value for this parameter.
Undo
Restores the current file system settings.
Apply
Activates the settings without closing the dialog.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1. "Attach" dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Sessions to skip
Enter the number of sessions to skip (default: 0).
This option allows you to restore a previous status of the CD. This is
especially useful if you want to access a file that was modified or deleted in
a previous session.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2. "Detach" dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use this dialog to finalize or detach a CDWFS drive (recorder).
The following options are available:
Finalize session
The current session will be closed so the CD is readable for normal
CD-ROM drives. This option uses about 20 MB of space on the CD for
session information. However, the CD can still be written to (if it is
attached again).
Finalize with write protection
Same as above; additionally, the CD is write protected to prevent further
write access. To remove the write protection, insert the CD into the
recorder, attach the drive and then choose the Unseal command in the
drive's context menu.
Close without session
This option writes all data in the caches and the table of contents to
the CD. It will not be accessable with normal CD-ROM drives until one of
the above options is used. However, it can be read by the CD recorder.
This is useful if you want to close the CD without investing the 20MB for
session information needed by CD-ROM drives to read the CD.
Emergency eject
This option is discards the buffers and is used in case of errors.

General
Speed Adjusts the recording speed. (1x = 150 K/sec, 2x = 300
k/sec, ...).
Test mode Causes the recorder to emulate the write process. This
option is useful to verify that the source device(s)
deliver data fast enough for the current recording speed.
Most recorders indicate test mode by flashing the write or
busy indicator. Note that source recorders return errors
when a session is finalized in test mode. Use the Close
without session detach option to prevent this. SONY
recorders do not support test mode.
File system
Eject when done Causes the CD to be ejected after the drive is detached.
Note that some recorders (ie Philips CDD522, Kodak PCD225)
only update the internal track directory when the CD is
ejected. If the system is restarted without ejecting the
CD, the track directory is lost, which causes previous
tracks to be overwritten and the CD to be destroyed.
This option should normally be marked.
Do not lock drive door When the recorder is attached, the drive door should be
locked. Use this option to prevent this. However, if the
door is opened too early there is a risk of data loss or
even destruction of the CD.
This option should not be marked. It is only used for test
or debugging purposes.
Track mode Selects the track mode used for creating new CDs. CD-XA is
the default. CD-ROM mode should only be used if the CD is
to be read by systems that do not support CD-XA CDs (very
rare). If the mode is changed, this applys only to new
CDs.
ISO - Level This setting defines the way the ISO9660-directory is
created. The following options are available:
[1] All file names are delimited to 8.3 names
[2] File names can have a length of up to 31 characters,
but can contain only one period (.)
[3] Same as [2], but any number of periods.
Note:
Long file names are written in any case (Joliet and
Rockridge format), no matter what setting is used, so they
are displayed under Unix, Windows 95 and NT. To display
long file names under OS/2, the CDWFS file system can be
used (type cdattach <drive letter> -d <CD-ROM drive
letter> at an OS/2 command prompt).
Undo
Restores the current file system settings.
Apply
Activates the settings without closing the dialog.
