Imported from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=129410

Description of problem:
The nautilus-cd-burner utility is very easy to use - as long as you
don't try and copy >700 megs onto a CD.

It would be nice if the app:
 1. Checked the total size of files on the CD before creating an image
 2. Warned the user if the size was too big, and offered an option to
span multiple CDs.

No dupes found, marking new.

1) Is already done. The 2.10 nautilus-cd-burner will warn when there isn't
enough room on the CD.
2) Is not really possible to do. How do you determine what will be split, and
using which method? It wouldn't be possible to guess programmatically so is best
left of to the user. As the user will be warned that there's not enough room on
the CD beforehand, it should be quicker to manually remove files.

Maybe this could be done in cooperation with file-roller. See my comments on bug

David, what you want looks like a backup tool, and I don't think we should add
this on top of nautilus-cd-burner. It's obviously possible for other
applications to use libnautilus-burn to burn the resulting backup data.
