GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 144973
CD and DVD Backup
Last modified: 2018-05-24 10:33:50 UTC
RB should be able to export its tracks to CD/DVD via burn:/// for example, and launch nautilus-cd-burner for the actual burning. Maybe this could be done via a simple script, we would also need to be able to select which playlists to backup if the size is bigger than a DVD/CD.
The 0.9 branch can burn CDs from playlists, dunno if it supports DVDs as well. Can you close this bug if it does?
Burning Audio CDs is quite different from CD/DVD (data) backups.
So, this is at least possible now that we support monitoring in n-c-b 2.11. Without monitoring the files copied to burn:/// via gnome-vfs wouldn't show up in nautilus without a forced reload.
Jon, is that something you would work on?
Sure. * Should we call it "backup" or "export" or something else? * Should it behave like the Audio CD creator (ie. work on playlists etc)? * Should we write a playlist file for each set? * How can we clearly differentiate it from Audio CD creation? * Should we copy files into burn:// directly? * If so, should we clear files from burn:// first? * What should we do if the selection doesn't fit on the disk? * Should we make a more generic export function that can copy files to other removable storage, like USB media?
(In reply to comment #5) > * Should we make a more generic export function that can copy files to other > removable storage, like USB media? The patch on bug #329267 is attempting to do this.
