CDlabel not working

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

CDlabel not working

Post by *fenix_productions »

When [DriveHints] section contains the description for CD drive, CDlabel option seems to not working.

I have:

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
CDlabel=1
[DriveHints]
X=My DVD
Imho CDlabel should have priority or it should be configurable:

Code: Select all

CDlabel=X
where X:
0 - do not get,
1 - get like it is now,
2 - get and overwrite DriveHints,

I would not call this a bug. CDlable just turns on/off retrieving label from CD/DVD drive, and not displaying the hint at all.

I think, this should be moved into TC Suggestions.

Indeed the DriveHints section takes precedence over all other types of labels. This is by design. Why would you define a drive hint if you prefer to get the value from the operating system?

That is because only sometimes I'd like to have Windows value for some drives.
Maybe this is a little bit weird but I prefer to have my own "DVD" label if there is no disc instead of "Stacja dysków DVD-RAM". It is shorter and consistent with TC's English language I've chosen. Simply: I don't like apps with mixed languages.
