CdCopy: Windows utility for copying contents of a CD/DVD to local hard disk with
most free space to a directory named for full name of CD/DVD.
It would be convenient to drag and drop a CD/DVD icon onto a local hard drive and
have the Windows GUI create a directory of the same full name as the CD/DVD
then copy CD/DVD contents to that directory.
Unfortunately Windows does not allow this.
This small stand-alone utility will extract the name of the CD/DVD, determine
the local hard disk with the most available space, create a directory using the
name of the CD/DVD, then write the CD/DVD contents to that directory.
Usage:
* Copy CdCopy.py to any location on your computer.
* Check that global CD_PATH has the correct drive letter for your system
or specify CD/DVD path in the command line.
* Insert CD/DVD that you wish to copy.
* Double-click on CdCopy.py
- Console window will provide feedback on copying progress.
- On completion, press RETURN to exit utility.
Notes:
* Windows only.
* CdCopy does not check that there is enough room on destination to copy CD/DVD.
* CdCopy will also work using the command line:
CdCopy
CdCopy [CD/DVD drive path]
