Frequently Asked Questions
This section gives answers to many commonly asked questions about cdrLabel.
- How do I make a label as fast as possible, with the least fuss?
Use this program! Just double-click on the label and the program will scan your disk.
- The program isn't displaying anything after a period (.). How do I change this?
The "Show Extensions" menu option is unchecked, and the program is hiding them. Please checkmark the Body->Show Extensions menu item.
- How do I make the program scan my entire disk and not just the root directory?
Use the File->Directory Levels menu option and select how many levels you want to scan. Be aware that scanning disks with many levels can take a long time.
- How do I add a background picture to my label?
Hit the Add Image button in the toolbar(
) and select any image file. The picture will appear in the center of the label. Right-click on the image and select MakeáBackground.
- I have a LOT of files. How can I catalog them all?
There are several options:
- Use a larger label format via File->LabeláFormat
- Increase the number of columns, possibly turning off extensions or file sizes
- Change the font for directories and folders to something smaller
- Hide directories you don't need to see
- The program keeps reading my hard drive! How can I make it scan the correct drive?
Use the File->SelectáDrive option.
- How do I move a tiny image or string?
Hold down the SHIFT key when you're working with a block that's very small to tell the program you want to move the image or string, not resize it.
- How do I make certain types of files stand out?
Use the Fonts and Colors window (
) to add pizzazz to special file types by changing their fonts or colors. For example, you could make all your source files (.C, .H) green and all your executables (.EXE, .DLL) blue.
- How do I move the labels position on the printed page?
Use the File->PrintáSetup menu, and uncheck the Default Position box and enter X and Y offsets for the upper-left-hand corner of the label.
