Hidden options - YES! Now it works!
Authored by: JB Cheong on Jul 19, '02 12:04:44AM

Like some of you, I couldn't get the trick to work too.

So I tried the hidden option as mentioned by Uncle-D. I use PrefEdit to add it into the preference file.

The "Append" button magically appeared when I burn the second session, and the third and the forth...!

After burning the third session, I inserted the disc into my Rev. B iMac which has a CD-ROM. All three sessions mounted nicely. Therefore it appears there's no need to "close" the disc at all.

I further confirm the hidden option does work as advertised by setting the option to true, ie, force close the CD after burning. Bang, I can't append a fifth session after that. That being the case, it therefore explains why previously burned (and force closed by default) disc will not be allowed to append new sessions.

My tests were all performed using a CD-RW disc, an IDE SONY burner, and the first session was burn in DiskCopy instead of Finder.

So, a big THANK YOU to uncle-d for your tip!

I wonder what the other two options do...

No luck here either - tried it first with no mods - no luck. Then tried the .plist mods - still no luck. Tried it on both internal CD-RW and external FW CD-RW. Sure would be nice if we could get some workable details here.
