Hi! I am having limited success with the command-line usage with respect to some parameters.

I don’t seem to able to get the “-hide”, “-ahide” and the “-pn” parameters to work. I have tried different combinations of full paths, relative paths, backslashes and forward-slashes with no success.

Here is an a simple, single file example with “-ahide” but it does not hide the file. It leaves it normal. Can anyone help?

UltraISO -file .\HV_01.md5 -ahide .\HV_01.md5 -output ..\HV_01.iso -volume HV01 -udf -optimize

It should be:
UltraISO -volume HV01 -udf -optimize -file .\HV_01.md5 -ahide /HV_01.md5 -output ..\HV_01.iso

PS: In an ISO image, '/path1/path2/file' should be used for specify a file.

Hi! Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately it still does not work.

As I mentioned before I have already tried it with the forward slash as well. I copy/pasted your solution into the batch command file I provided before and ran it again.

It still does not change the file and leaves it "normal". The same problem applies to the "-hide" as well as the "-pn" commands. I have also decided to test it on two different machines running different OS's (Windows XP and Windows 2003)  and both have the same problem.

Any suggestions?

PS! I've just discovered that the problem only arises when I use the "-udf" switch/command. If I remove it, the "-hide" and "-ahide" work.

It seems that the "-udf" command some how invalidates those commands. However, when used in the GUI mode it does function correctly with the UDF format, so it must be something at the command line level that is "buggy".

Any comments?

Well, after some more tests I also find that the "-pn" command also does not work when the "-optimize" is used. However, it does not seem to work in GUI mode either when "Optimize" is used.
