Re: Should we switch to CloneCD format?

Anyway, for switching the formats we will need a new tool. Even if we choose the clonecd format, how to make the dump? PR to dump the tracks (and, _sometimes_, .img, when there's no issues with scrambled sectors and when it doesn't add its own weird sequences in pregaps), EAC+IB to confirm the dump, some file merger to merge the tracks, CloneCD to get the .ccd (since PR .ccd is somewhat custom, contains CATALOG, etc., so only CloneCD ones are ok), subdump to dump the .sub file (at least on 2 different drives even to accept the dump as blue), also, _probably_,  cdtoimg_d8 to get the .scr scrambled image file (at least 2xdumps to get the good checksum) - tell me, WHO will do all these steps? So, imo, noone to write the 1-click dumping tool - no reason to switch the formats. Over.
