CompleX CD/DVD burner plugin

Post by *MegaTom »

What to use for some programs if there is the best file manager Total Commander? Simply choose files which want to write down and press the button.
Complex CD/DVD Writer is the first and the only plugin meant to burning CD's. Now Total Commander can do it all!

Yes, many times people asked here about the plugin for burning CD. Thanks for it.
Unfortunately it's not free - even the lite version.
14.95 US for Lite version and 24.95 US for Pro version is not acceptable for me and I suppose for many other users, too. It's of course only my opinion.
It's a pity it's not free :-(

Yes, the list includes me too! :D

The plug-in looks promising and in addition it's the first of its kind. But with the Pro version touching the price of TotalCmd itself, to my eyes, it looks as a separate application and not as a plug-in. Based on this (personal) interpretation, I could equally be satisfied by my dedicated recording software which may not have the TC integration ability but, on the other hand, with a slightly higher price it includes a colossal amount of recording-related features compared to a plug-in.

IMHO, the best approach is that followed by the SWF Lister plug-in, if I'm not mistaken, where the striped down Lite version is completely free and provides just the basics and the standard (or Pro) version is provided prior to a small payment to the developer(s).

:) Hello Panos !
¤ Well, I agree the whole of your post.
- About the status of this kind of program, why not the old good well-defined "Shareware" ?

So interesting opinions.... You must compare the costs of software for writing CD's not only TC as a program+ plugin. :roll:

You are right. It's only our opinion. But I think you should also take into account that there are lot of free CD burning software. :-)

It's an "old" inhibition for consciously not applying as a moderator. But you know the full story first hand! ;) :P

I'm not going to argue with you. You've asked for comments so I've just put mine. That's good that such a plugin exists at last but I personally would like to see it as a freeware (like most of the plugins for TC).

You are the author of the plugin and you have the right to distribute it as you want. I'm a user and I have the right to buy it and use or not. If I have a choice to use some free programs I prefer to do it. It's a pity they are not integrated with TC.

I can only add that lot of my friends use TC with many plugins but none of them use commercial plugins. If they have to pay they prefer to pay for standalone but usually more powerful tools. I've also never bought any commercial plugins for my company, yet.

BTW: I've NOT found any word that your plugin is shareware in your posts. There is also no such a word on your page neither in readme and licence. There is only a word DEMO.

No problems at all. If you want to use free plugin just write it! But remember about SDK for writing CD with not free for devlopers. We'll compare this soft with ours and a users choose the best. :lol:

this software u did looks fine, but i can't test it.
the erase (i use it often) doesn't work in the demo. i'll want to test so i don't use a cd-r or dvd-r.
also i'll try to see where the workfolder ist (is it virtuall??). because i make all two weeks a backup from important dates on dvd - looks like 4gb or so. not on all drives enough space - if the brun folder not virtual i must can change the work folder.
also we come to the last. well i feel free, of buy or not but the lite version is too lite - and the price of the normal (or call u pro?) is too much, i think. if u make a 50% offer u can contact then i buy.

but work on looks great. cya

I think that SHAREWARE plugins topics should use the word SHAREWARE on the subject of the topic. Bye.

And why do you think then that professional programmers must write free software? It is very convenient to use this plugin. As for me I am satisfied with it possibility and I hate using all other explorer-like CD-burning software. IMHO. Of course Lite version should be free.

It's usually better when professional do that (or at least the ones who can do it) :-)
