GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 152379
Nautilus-cd-burner 2.7.x and maybe 2.8.0 erases all data in CD without any notification :(((
Last modified: 2006-07-05 09:38:47 UTC
There should be a warning message if the inserted rewritable CD/DVD isn't blank, because "Erase CD" was removed from 2.7.x and 2.8 versions. Now users can lose important data, because all info from rewritable media is erased without any question :( Please, fix this critical issue before gnome 2.8 will be released (severity is critical because this causes loss of data). This bug exist in 2.7.6 and according changelog isn't fixed in 2.8.0 :(

It seems I'm not the only one idiot who thinks, that this is a critical bug ;) I'm restoring original priority and severity values, please at least add the warning dialog when user tries to write new information to non-blank CDRW disk.
We just need to do something with the warn-data-loss signal in nautilus-cd-burner, I haven't had time to test it though, so it's not enabled. 2004-12-10 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * cd-recorder.c: (media_type_matches), (unmount_drive), (cd_recorder_wait_for_insertion), (cd_recorder_blank_disc_cdrecord), (cd_recorder_class_init): * cd-recorder.h: * cdrecorder-marshal.list: rework the insertion code to emit a warn-data-loss signal if the medium is rewritable, and we unmounted it (step towards closing: #152379)
2005-01-10 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * nautilus-cd-burner.c: (warn_data_loss_cb), (burn_cd), (main): warn the user of a possible data loss (Closes: #152379)
still an issue with 2.9.6 or current CVS, it records on the media without any notification before
Thanks for catching that. 2005-02-21 William Jon McCann <mccann@jhu.edu> * nautilus-cd-burner.c (request_media, ask_rewrite_disc) (warn_data_loss_cb): Warn about possible dataloss if the disc is not blank. Don't rely on whether the disc was unmounted or not. (Closes #152379)

now I get a message: "Insert rewritable or blank disc Please put a rewritable or blank disc, with at least ... MiB free, into the drive. cancel retry disc" That's really confusing since the media is already in the drive and that's not really a description matching the purpose of the bug, reopening. BTW thank you for working on that.
I don't think that is related. Please open a new bug if there is a problem. Thanks.
