  2. ^ ^ Modifies: Specifies whether the application is able to manipulate the contents of an existing disc image file, including adding, changing or deleting files within or modifying disc image metadata.

  4. ^ ^ Restores: Specifies whether the application can write the contents of a disk image file onto a physical media (such as an optical disc, a floppy disk or a hard disk drive) and create a physical replica.
  5. ^ ^ Extracts: Specifies whether the application can copy some or all of the files within a disc image file to somewhere else.
  6. ^ ^ Input: Specifies the types of disc image formats that the application can open.
