Preference Description
Include wide SCSI devices when
searching for drives
Select this check box if you want CD Architect software to scan for
wide SCSI CD drives when you attempt to extract data from or
burn CDs.
When the check box is cleared, CD Architect software will not
scan for wide SCSI devices, which can increase compatibility with
some USB device drivers that incorrectly identify themselves as
wide SCSI.
Skip drive database, autodetect
drive capabilities on startup
When the check box is cleared, CD Architect software will use an
internal configuration file to determine your drive's capabilities.
If you encounter problems burning CDs, select this check box,
and CD Architect software will test your drive to determine its
capabilities.
Overwrite CD Text
autodetection results
Select this check box to turn on CD Text writing for your drive if
CD Architect software incorrectly detects that your CD recorder is
not able to write CD Text.
Note: Please check your documentation that is provided with
your CD recorder to accurately determine whether the drive is
able to write to CD Text.
Do not read disc capacity when
media is inserted
Select this check box if you do not want the software to check the
capacity of the media when you insert a CD. Selecting the check
box can prevent a hang that can occur with some external drives.
When the check box is cleared, the software will scan the media
each time you insert a disc.
Recently used project list
Select the check box and enter a number in the edit box if you want to list
your most recently used projects at the bottom of the File menu.
Temporary files folder
Displays the folder where temporary files are created. Click the Browse
button to specify a new folder.

the media file is stored in a subfolder within this folder. This keeps the
media file available for use even if the source of the media is no longer
accessible.
Be aware that these subfolders are cleared when you close the software.
However, they are not cleared if the software closes inappropriately.
