Changes - cdrtfe 1.4.1

GUI:
Selected task can be started with Ctrl-Alt-Enter.
Optional warning before closing cdrtfe, if the file compilation has been modified.
Workaround for the message dialogs to enable the screenreader NVDA to read the text.
Audio CD:
Only sound files which can be converted to Audio CD compatible wave files will be accepted:
wav, flac, ape: 44.1 kHz, 16 Bit, stereo
ogg : 44.1 kHz, 8 oder 16 bit, stereo
mp3 : any
Missing values for userdefined pauses will be interpreted as 0 seconds. Additional check for invalid values.
ShellExtension:
It is no longer required to start cdrtfe with admin privileges to (de)activate the ShellExtension under Vista/Win7. Required privileges will be requested, when needed.
When in portable mode cdrtfe does not allow any longer to activate the ShellExtension.
Bugfixes:
When starting cdrtfe the FileExplorer wasn't opened in the specified folder.
Current folder in the FileExplorer changed when tab was switched.
Continuing a multisession CD could make the disc unusable, if files from the previous session were to be hidden and no UDF filesystem was used.
The old version of files from previous sessions which should be replaced were additionally hidden, which caused mkisofs to fail.

cdrtfe 1.3.3 [30.11.2008]
(1,92 MiByte, zip archive, includes: cdrtfe.exe, translations, cdrtfeShlEx.dll, readme and help files)

* Data-DVD: Added multiborder DVD support (cdrecord 2.01.01a50 and newer) for DVD-R and DVD-RW. A DVD-RW which has been written in multiborder mode has to blanked fully to reuse it for another writing mode.
Important:
According to the cdrecord man page multiborder DVD writing is done in the same way like writing multisession CDs. So, cdrtfe has been adjusted to allow this for DVD-R(W) discs.
However, I haven't been able to successfully continue a multiborder DVD, cdrecord always complained about not having enough space left regardless how much data was to be written.
I am not sure what causes this problem (cdrecord, system, drive). If you want to use this new feature, try it with a rewritable disc first.
