Just tried UltraISO v7.0.0.733

Folders in, say,  E:\Mandrake\mdkinst\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\locale\ cannot be opened inside UltraISO (IE, passed a depth of 8).  I took a picture, if you're interested to see it.  It is CD1 of Mandrake Linux 10.0.

Your program, however, does make a perfect .iso of this linux CD, and those folders can be opened in other programs like Alcohol 120%.

The problem arises when I try adding stuff to it and do a Save As. Those folders then become 0-byte files in the new .iso.

Thank you for a very nice program.

Thanks for your bug report.

This problem is very complicated, it may take weeks to fix, and I will drop you a message then.

Thanx for the fast reply.

Those "folders" seem to be links.  If you dbl-click on any of them inside UltraISO on the right side, they lead you to a folder inside .rr_moved.

Please note that this bug still exists in latest version 7.1, and we will try our best to fix this bug soon.

Hello again,

If it helps anybody, the following command worked with mkisofs.exe.  I used it to combine the contents of 5 CDs into a DVD image called linux.iso.

mkisofs -o linux.iso -v -J -R -hide-rr-moved \
-V 10.0-Official-Powerpack -b isolinux/isolinux.bin \
-c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table data

It boots just like it was CD1, and the -R switch makes the links work.  The 4 in -boot-load-size 4 seems to be rather important too for it to boot at all.
