Open cd drive as trigger

[Dimsok]

I want to start program after inserting cd or dvd in drive. Did try file monitor as trigger or variables like {VolumeLabel(j:)} to start total commander with /S /O /L /T J:/. The same with E: for the first cd drive. Total commander open disc in new tab after inserting. But when i put out disc from drive trigger works again and tries to open empty drive. Is it possible to do some condition which will make action only after inserting disc in dvd drive, but not after putting it out?

RoboTask contains such trigger.
Look at the On Device Changed trigger
It is in "System Events" group
This trigger fired when you insert CD/DVD into optical drive or insert external storage into USB port (flash-drive or external HDD)

i want that when i connect a certain USB drive it should run a task to copy a folder.

Thanks

Trigger the same: On Device Changed

You can check disk label. For example your backup drive should have the label MYBACKUP

Look at the example below

Code: Select all
