Some tips concerning SimplyBurns

Installation: This is really quite straight-forward:
  1. Download the build archive "Simplyburns-build-rev.zip" via Safari
  2. Allow Safari to extract the archive
  3. SimplyBurns should appear on the desktop (search for SimplyBurns logo)
  4. You can start it directly from the desktop, or move it to any folder

OGG support: You can use OGG Vorbis files with SimplyBurns after installing the Official Xiph QuickTime component


Setting a Custom Partition Title: This works in data projects by renaming the root node of the filesystem tree.

Note: In the same manner, you can also rename other nodes in the tree. This does not rename the referenced files, but only assigns this name to the corresponding file on the resulting medium. Renaming works in a Finder-like style
  • Select the row with the node to be renamed with a single click
  • Single click this row again brings the item in editing mode
