GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 560536
dragging .iso onto blank CD should prompt user
Last modified: 2008-12-17 11:34:57 UTC
Very frequently, naïve users try to drag an .iso onto a blank CD with the intent of burning a CD of that image, rather than uselessly burning a CD containing a file with the image in (which is what actually happens). If a user tries to drag a disc image to a blank CD, they should at least be prompted with a message box, including a brief explanation, to indicate their intent. The "burn CD image" option needs to be prominent and the obvious default. This enhancement might also be a convenience for more sophisticated users as it is marginally easier than messing with the context menu and going via CD/DVD creator. Other information:
There's no way we can do that in nautilus-cd-burner itself, we'd need special-casing in nautilus itself, which isn't a bad idea.
