i don't know if any one from Roxio reads the posts, but i would like to provide feed back.

i have several files that i maintain of dics i burn for students or teachers so that they have information i am trying to distribute.

it would be nice since they are not all contained in the same parent folder if toast could keep track of where they are and report back to me so i can make changes to it. Right now, if i double click on the item, Toast just opens an info box that gives me info about the document. i wish it could either give me a way to take me to it's parent folder so i can open it or it opens it when i double click.

at the moment, i have to modify the document, i have to track where it is and then modify and to be safe, if i created a new version of it, i have to tell toast to use this document and delete the old.

First, yes, we sure do read these posts.

I think you are looking for Toast to do something that you can already do within the Mac OS. If you are Using OS 10.4 then do some research on the "Smart Folders" function. You might have to put a common name on all of the documents related to one set of data that you want to distribute but it does not have to be complicated. Here is an example: name of the document proj a. So you can just put something in the name to help the OS find all of project a's files easily.

Yes, a smart folder is a nice feature, but i already have a bloated directory of files and folders. the problem rests with the fact that although i may wish to include many files on one disc, they are only related when i am putting them on that disc and would no be a mater of practical sense to create smart folders for the twenty assorted discs i burn.

just thought it would be pretty sweat, if Toast knew where the file was (since it already does to burn it) so when i double clicked on it, it would open it so i could be sure i was modifying the file i want to burn.
