Description Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2005-04-09 21:04:23 UTC 
It would be helpful to have the type of disk (cdr/cdrw/dvd etc) and the amount
of freespace on the disk displayed on the main cd writer ui. It could then make
the "Write disc" button insensitive if the disk in the drive does not have
enough space on it.

I raise this, as I was a bit confused as to whether it would just randomly
attempt to write too much data to a disk, it was non-obvious that further checks
are made after clicking the "Write Disc" button.
Comment 1 William Jon McCann 2005-10-20 14:42:52 UTC 
We don't know what drive or disk will be used until you select ""Write to Disc"
so we can't show such information in the nautilus window.  One thing we can show
is how much space is being used already.  Please see bug 111231 for that.
Comment 2 Crispin Flowerday (not receiving bugmail) 2005-10-20 14:48:56 UTC 
I don't understand what you mean, the user has selected the drive in the "Write
disc to" drop-down. You could then list how much space is on the disk in that drive.

I'm not talking about the nautilus window, I'm talking about the "Write to disc"
window.

Confirming, it's quite important

nautilus-cd-burner has been replaced by Brasero in the GNOME 2.26 release. If your bug still applies to Brasero, please feel free to re-open the bug, and reassign it to brasero itself.
