- Including an On Location index on a CD-ROM when it is pressed makes it easy for
- users to quickly find and view files. The Developer's CD series has been
- including indexes on their disks for over a year. You can also find indexes on
- Disks from QL Tech (including the Gigarom) and Discovery Systems (including
- the Nautilus disks). Here's how to include an index on a CD-ROM:
-
- 1.Layout the files to be included on the CD-ROM on a single read/write volume.
-
- 2.Open On Location and choose Create Index... from its menu.
-
- 3.Click on volume that contains the CD-ROM files.
-
- 4.Click on Custom....
-
- 5.Store new index on the volume that contains the CD-ROM files, “in root
- directory of volume.”
-
- 6.Click on Create.
-
- 7.Wait while On Location creates the index.
-
- 8.Choose Indexes... from the On Location menu (Index Utilities for version
- 2.0).
-
- 9.Select volume that contains CD-ROM and click ReIndex (this is to include the
- index file itself in the index).
-
- 10.Image copy the entire volume onto the CD-ROM master. [Do not simply copy
- the files to the CD-ROM master; image copy the entire volume. Other methods of
- copying will change the file and folder ID numbers used by On Location to find
- and view files.]
-
- Please note:
- • Indexes created with On Location 2.0 cannot be read by On Location 1.0 unless
- you create a custom index that excludes numbers. If you are planning to
- distribute an index that may be used by On Location 1.0 and On Location 2.0
- users, you should create a custom index that doesn't include numbers.
-
- Indexes created with On Location 1.0 are fully compatible with On Location 2.0
-
- •The index must be stored in a folder named "On Location Indexes" stored at the
- root (top) level of the CD in order for the user to access it directly from the
- CD. If it is not stored this way, the user will have to copy it to their own
- hard disk in order to use it.
-
- •The index and the CD must have identical names. On Location matches the
- volume name with the index name and something as simple as a ™ will cause a
- mismatch. Although the index will still be usable, On Location will treat it
- as an unmounted volume so files can be searched but can't be viewed.
