I want to know (from someone who actually knows 2011's intended feature set) if it is supposed to be able to create an image file of a data cd and/or audio cd which is already burned? (gi file format is fine).
I can certainly grab the image an audio cd copy creates from the temp directory before it automatically deletes it - but I have looked all through the menus and cannot find a method to perform this basic function in the standard Creator 2011 software. UPDATE: As it turns out it doesn't create an image file without some obscurity afterall - it creates a temp file instead.
Product help indicates an image may be created during the process of burning a Music Project but it "leaves out" how to create such an image from a cd which is already burned.
Additionally, help indicates that I should be able to go to the data-copy project type from the home menu and then see an option to copy-disc-to-image, however no such option is actually available.
I also see that while burning a data CD I have the option to create an image file too. But again, this is for a disc which I'm burning - not a disc which is already burned.
From a software design perspective the question I have is, why make such a basic function so hard to do?
