– A – If you do not see this file, the it’s normal: you haven’t enabled the display of hidden files, which is surely ok. If you can see it, no panic, this file must exist. Do not try to delete it, copy it or whatever. This file is used and needed by InCD to work with the files you manipulate (save, copy, delete, rename, move, etc.) on the formatted disc. Actually this file is mentionned in the UDF 1.50 specifications and thus you will find it also on discs formatted by other packet writing software.
