I noticed that when you start CloneBD on earlier versions you would have a choice of Open ISO Files, Open Folders and Blu Ray Box. I noticed that the Blu Ray box is missing in 1.1.7.1 Beta. Was the intended to be like this.
I'm not sure, what you mean by "Blu-ray box". In any event - nothing has ever changed. CloneBD offers ISO, folder and then - IF a Blu-ray is in the drive - a button showing that Bluray (with multiple drives, multiple such buttons). Or if no Blu-ray is inserted into any drive, you'd see a non-functional, red "Empty" button. So if something is odd from your POV, please post a screen shot and describe, what exactly you're missing.
The first time I upgraded to 1.1.7.1 the red "Empty" button was missing. I just reinstalled and the red "Empty" button is back. Not sure what happened but all is Ok. Thanks Pete for your quick response.
