Care to explain better ? 
Users are suppose to launch "Brasero" not "CD/DVD Creator" on the menu.

In GNOME 2.24, Places->CD/DVD Creator opens a Nautilus window into which you can copy stuff, even if you don't have a CD player attached (as is my case, external USB CD player). Then when I attach the CD player & insert a blank disc, I can just Burn to disc.

Apparently, in GNOME 2.26, "Places->CD/DVD Creator" doesn't exist unless you have a blank disc in your CD player, which is a regression.

Which has nothing to do with this bug (because we already changed that in 2.26 before brasero was proposed).

The problem is that there's no way to access burn: now, and launching brasero isn't an option.

It took me some time to understand the issue here so I'll explain what I found out.

If I am not wrong, the changes you reference in your last sentence are those ones, in gnome-panel:

2008-12-16  Bastien Nocera  <hadess@hadess.net>

        * panel-menu-items.c (panel_place_menu_item_create_menu): Remove
        nautilus-cd-burner from the Places menu, it's now in the System Tools
        instead (Closes: #508385)

and in nautilus-cd-burner:

2008-12-16  Bastien Nocera  <hadess {at} hadess.net>

	* data/nautilus-cd-burner.desktop.in: Add --no-default-window
	to the nautilus call, to avoid any other windows popping up,
	TryExec nautilus, as it's possible nautilus-cd-burner was installed
	without nautilus, but not n-c-b's desktop file without n-c-b,
	Make menu item visible under Applications -> System Tools
	(Closes: #529867)

And your request here would be to have a menu item, under System Tools, that would open burn://, not the Brasero window.

Yes, and we currently do that in the Fedora brasero package using the same .desktop file that we used to have in nautilus-cd-burner (we just changed the icon, and bugzilla details).

Created attachment 130149 [details]
the desktop file we install on Fedora

Brasero ships that desktop file look at nautilus/brasero-nautilus.desktop.in
It just set's NoDisplay=true.

I'll fix it.

Thanks this is fixed for 2.26.0

        * nautilus/brasero-nautilus.desktop.in.in:                              
                                                                                
        Make brasero nautilus extension show in system menu.                    
        Also rename to CD/DVD Creator to avoid any regression.                  
        Fixes bgo #573790.

It would be nice to have someone from the release team state this is a RC bug, so that the gnome-i18n people will have no right to complain about the string freeze break.

Looks important enough, but let's make it sure :)

I really don't understand this change:

-Almost all items under the places menu (save for "search" and "recent files" open nautilus windows.
-All items under the apps menu open their own apps, not nautilus windows. There already is a menu entry that opens a burning app, that is brasero.

How does it make more sense to place a menu entry which opens a nautilus window under apps, and not places? Moreover, what use is it to clutter the apps menu with two burning apps: brasero and NCB?

As I see it the CD/DVD creator is a place, not an app. And as such, it should go under the places menu.

n-c-b is not part of gnome 2.26 anymore, hence there's only brasero.

So what app does app → system tools → CD/DVD creator launch exactly, then? Is it Brasero? Then, do we really need two different launchers, in two different menus, for the same app?

The first luncher is to lunch the nautilus burning extension. The second is to lunch the full application.
Sorry bugzilla isn't the right place for this discussion if you have more questions bring it to the mailing list.

Thanks
