What's On Those CD's?

Here's a question from our Embroidery Computer Talk Forum...

"I have about 35 cds with embroidery designs on them. How can I open the disk and then print out the page with the names of the designs.? I want to make a binder so when I want a design I can just look it up in the book then pick that CD... How can I do this?" -- Jackie

Here are TWO WAYS to do this! The first answer is from "Mama_Duck"...

You'll need "Embird" for this first method...

( ">" below means "go to" )
>Embird > file you want to create a page of
Right click in the right on the file
Choose 'select all'
right click again and select 'view thumbnails.
> Right panel and select 'Print' then 'print thumbnails'

You will get two windows that will pop up. Here is where you will want to describe the file location name. Will make it easier for you to find those designs later.

This second way to do this does NOT give you a catalog of thumbnail pictures showing the design. It does however give you a list of the files on each CD. I've used this program for several years and it's reliable software...

Once you run the install routine, your right-click menus now have a new option (see picture below) that allows you to PRINT A LIST of everything in a file folder on your hard drive or CD!
