Burning a disc of files from within Rev

[Thomas J McGrath III]

Alex,

Is that what this was? A feature request?
I thought it sounded like a demand that someone on the list show how it 
can be done complete with stack samples and exact coding.


Well, as a feature request I would agree with you and I think accessing 
system wide commands is a good thing and I would vote yes to it. I mean 
the finder window can burn a disc and the desktop can too etc. so sure 
I would love to see REV do it to. But what about windows then? Should 
we not also be able to access system wide commands available in windows 
too?

I can see this being a very large feature request then.

my 4 cents worth.
