Calypso CD browser

This program is used to browse and look the contents of CD-ROMs you have memorized in Calypso by ‘Archive CD-ROM’ command. It enables you to look at a specified directory or a file before you actually put the CD-ROM in your drive. You can also scan for a file pattern in the specified cache data file and inspect file’s size and/or time to see if the CD is really the one you want to use. It will save you a lot of time browsing the disks and scanning the directories. It is absolutely safe to use since it does not write to cache files. You can delete unnecessary cache files or rename if the title seems inappropriate to you.

See Program usage for details on how to use the program.


Program usage

The screen is divided in to three areas. Click on each to find out more about it.


Cache files

This is the window with all cached CD-ROMs listed. If you archive a CD-ROM in Calypso, this list is updated when you start CD Browser. A click on the file will load the directories and files in the directory and file window.

Directory window

This is the window with all directories listed on the currently selected cached CD-ROM. Clicking on a directory (or moving the selection with cursor keys) will select the desired directory and display all files in that directory in the file window.

File window

This is the window with all files listed in currently selected directory on currently selected cached CD-ROM. If the display is inadequate, use the mouse to drag the header separator to change the size of the desired column. You can also click on a header to trigger sorting by desired criteria. Clicking twice (not double-clicking) will reverse the sort order (from a-z to z-a).
