Description Tiago Cogumbreiro 2005-07-05 11:20:05 UTC 
The writing device should be stored in GConf. Maybe the device's label too, so
that we first search the device by label and then my device name.

Actually it's pure nautilus-cd-burner problem. Reassigning.

Unfortunately, that patch isn't correct.  The library should be saving/loading preferences it should be done in the application.  There are a number of reasons for this one of which is that you may have last used a different drive in sound-juicer or rhythmbox as you did in n-c-b.

Also, this preference must be per-system since home directories and gconf databases can be shared between systems.

Does this work for you?

Unfortunately, I've had to use one of the functions I had hoped to deprecate but I don't really have a better way of doing it at the moment.  Also using hostname isn't going to be unique unless it is FQDN but it should be good enough.

Fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major release. Thank you for your bug report.
