Disc organization
When PowerFile Monitor is running on the host PC (see the “PowerFile Monitor” section of
this guide), the Changers connected to the host PC are detected, and folders are created
for each Changer. The folders are named with sequential numbers (Changer 1, Changer 2,
Changer 3, etc.). These folders are considered to be the master folders for the Changer
contents, containing a list of all the discs in that Changer. To help organize the discs within
the Changer folders, the host user can:
Rename the master (Changer) folder.
Rename any of the discs within the Changer folder.
Create, rename, move, and delete new folders and subfolders within the Changer
folder.
Renaming the master Changer folder
The master Changer folders can be renamed using standard Windows renaming functions
(right-click and select Rename from the submenu). The PowerFile software retains
information about a renamed master Changer folder. For example, if a particular Changer
is removed from the host, but is reconnected at a later time, the renamed master folder
name for that particular Changer will be displayed. To rename the master Changer folder,
right-click on the Changer folder and choose Rename Changer Folder from the pop-up
menu.
Note: Do not move or copy master Changer folders. The master Changer folders
must stay in the PowerFile directory. You may, if you wish, create shortcuts to master
Changer folders and place the shortcuts in other directories.
Renaming a disc
Initially, discs that are loaded into the Changer are listed in the Changer folder either as
UnknownDisc (if the Changer has not yet mounted the disc into a drive and read it) or as
named discs (if the Changer has read the disc and found an associated volume name tag
for it, or if it has been renamed by the user). To rename a disc, click on the desired disc
name to select it, then use standard PC file-renaming functions (right-click on icon and
select Rename). Once a volume tag has been renamed, right-click on the icon and select
"Update Volume Tag".
Note: if your system is set to display file name extensions, you will notice that the file
extension for all discs in the Changer are. chg, (if the media is not mounted in a
drive) or .chd, (if the media is mounted in a drive) . It is important that you do not
change the extension, it must be .chd or .chg
Update Volume Tags
If you manually rename one or more discs, you should synchronize the Changer with the
new names by using the Update Volume Tag command. Right-click on one or more newly
renamed discs and select Update Volume Tag (for one disc) or Update Volume Tags (for
multiple discs) from the submenu.
