My hard drive is getting full and I thought I would start putting downloads on my CD-R/W instead. Vue provides a capability for this called Virtual Collections. Im hoping someone has been more successful than I was at doing it.

Here is what I have tried so far:
Ive added lots of collections on my hard drive before, so I didnt expect any problems. (Ha!) The first thing was to add a new collection and using the browser, point it to a directory on the CD. This worked fine till I tried it again but forgot to put the CD in the drive first. It came back with an Empty Collection indication. This made sense, but when I put the disk in it didnt change. I canceled the load object screen and tried again. No joy. The only way I could access the collection again was to exit Vue and restarted it. (Bummer)

Then I tried mimicking how the Vue Virtual Collections were done. I copied the working .prv file from the CD and put it in its own directory on my hard drive. I then added a new collection pointing to this hard drive directory. Opening this collection always indicates Empty Collection. (Double Bummer)

Can this be done or is it just a feature that e-on can use?
