UserInterface

 

 

The List Window displays the disc contents as main folder containing drives, discs, sub-folders, files or audio tracks. A graphic symbol, or icon associates with every folder, file or audio track. CDRoller assigns a proprietary icon to each type of CD/DVD/BD/Flash media: CDROM, CD-R, CD-RW have the icon as data_cd_32, all types of DVD media - dvd_cd_32 icon, Blu-ray disc - BluRay_32 icon, CD-DA (Audio CD) is displayed with audio_cd_32 icon, symbol as mixed_cd_32 associates with Mixed CD (data plus audio) and empty drive (drive without any disc) has the icon as empty_drive_32 . Short CD/DVD image has appropriate icon as image_32 , and the icon as mirror_32  is assigned to the image that is the "mirror" of inserted disc. Flash memory card (drive) is displayed with usb_storage_32  icon and USB card reader has the icon as usb_32_empty.

 

To select an item in the List Window, click on its icon or name. If you want to work with multiple items in a folder, you can select (mark) each of them, using the check box near an each item. The total size of selected files is diplayed by the status bar. To select all items in the current folder, or return to the prior level in the directory structure, you may also use an options from the secondary Tool Bar.

 

Side Bar similar to Microsoft Outlook offers an intuitive list of commands depending on your situation (disc type, file system, data recovery problems, etc.).

 

To adjust a column's width, you may move the mouse pointer to the right border of the column heading box. The mouse pointer changes to a double-headed horizontal arrow with a vertical bar in the middle. That means you move the border. Hold down the mouse bottom and drag the border left or right as needed. When the border is in its preferred location, release the mouse button.

 

Every item displayed in the List Window has its own Pop-up menu - if you right-click on it, a menu will show up by it, displaying all the options available over the selected item.

 

All buttons on the Toolbar and Side Bar have a hint - if you don't know what the button does, just place the mouse over it and wait for a second, and a short description will appear.

 

CDRoller supports drag-and-drop - meaning that any file and/or folder can be copied to desired location on HDD, or any audio track can be extracted to the output file by drag-and-drop.
