Create ISO from ROX file menu
Posted: Wed 05 May 2010, 14:51
I've made a little (751 bytes) PET that adds an option to ROX's right-click menu to create an ISO from a directory. It makes use of a very slightly modified version of a script Aragon made called dir2iso (relevant original thread here) which utilizes mkisofs, so I've named the modified script dir-to-iso to try and avoid too much confusion. If that needs to or should be changed, just say so and I'll do it- or of course anyone else can change it on their own if they don't want to wait for me.
I also added another option to ROX's menu to launch burniso2cd if an ISO image is selected.
The goal here was to ease some of my parents' troubles in burning data to discs (they're accustomed to seeing burning options in the file manager), and I figured as long as it works (it seems to) and was packaged I'd post it up here, too.
I've switched file hosts (the original seemed to be causing trouble). The links point directly to the file now- no timed wait, no CAPTCHA. It should be much more direct now.

If anyone finds it useful, nice, and if not, oh, well.
(Multimedia didn't seem like quite the right section for this, but Puppy does list CD burners under Multimedia in the main menu, so...)
