Description Pete Goodall 2005-09-29 16:43:19 UTC 
When I insert a blank CD I get the option to make an "audio cd" or a "data cd",
but I don't get an option to "burn CD image".  Consequently I always have to hit
the [ Ignore ] button, find my iso, right-click and choose "write to CD".  Why
can't that be an option when I insert the CD?

fejj: do you know of any apps with that capability?
Comment 2 Jeff Stedfast 2005-09-29 17:30:23 UTC 
well, technically you can already do this. Just change the "data cd" command to
whatever program you use to burn your iso images.
Comment 3 Ben Kahn 2005-09-29 20:37:10 UTC 
All CD burning apps should do this.

k3b does, for example.
And nautilus-cd-burner does too.

If you drag a single ISO file into the nautilus burn window, it should duplicate
the ISO onto the disk.
Comment 4 Pete Goodall 2005-09-29 21:08:49 UTC 
Ok.  So if I click on [ Data CD ] I get a window that says "Blank CD ROM". 
There is no indication what to do next....

So since I'm a technical kind of guy I open another nautilus window, find the
ISO I want to burn and drag it into the window.  I look for some action button
to burn it.... and I don't see it.

So being a technical I guy I play around a bit, and find an arrow in the upper,
right corner.  When i click on the down-arrow I see a button that says "Burn to
Disc".  Sweet!

Then it says something to the effect of, "...if you do this you will burn a
single file to disk! Are you sure that is what you want to do?!"  Then I have
three buttons that same something like [ Burn a single file ], [ Cancel ] and 
[ Burn an image ].

Since I'm a technical guy I can figure out which option I want.  However, this
process is less than intuitive.  There should be much more instruction here. 
Has Anna's group looked at this at all?
Comment 5 JP Rosevear 2005-09-30 14:22:12 UTC 
There is already a bug on making the window say something, bug 117207.

Anna's group decided on the buttons to make available and the text of the buttons.

I guess we're closing this?
