Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus-cd-burner

Description:

I remember, with Debian Etch and GNOME 2.14, when I tried to burn a rw-disc (CD or DVD) and it were not empty, nautilus-cd-burner suggested me to erase the disc. But now, in Edgy Eft, it only do it when I try to burn an ISO image, not when I make a CD with the CD Burner, instead of this it ask me for a bigger disc, no another option available

I think this may be an usability issue.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the CD Burner and drop some files there.
2. Insert a non empty rw disc.
3. Press the "Erase disc" button.
4. A dialog suggesting to erase the disc should appear, not only one asking for replacing the actual one.

Version:
2.16.1

Thank you for your bug. The option to erase the CD before recording is still available, maybe it's not detecting the CD as a rewritable one correctly. Could you run /usr/lib/nautilus-cd-burner/list_cddrives and lshal and attach that to the bug?

I tried again, and now it works (it show me the erase option). Sorry, but I don't remember the conditions when I tried before. I will report it if it appear again. Any way, here I attach what you asked for.

Thank you for the work on that. The log would be interesting to note if the CD is correctly detected when you don't get the option. Closing the bug for now since that works fine, feel free to reopen with the corresponding log if you get the problem again
