GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 316527
Media recording applications should use a global GConf key
Last modified: 2009-07-29 10:45:51 UTC
Instead of using the gconf key '/apps/nautilus-cd-burner/temp_iso_dir' we could use a system wide key for this like '/system/storage/temporary_dir'. This would no only benefit distributions but also other GNOME applications that perform a simillar operation (like serpentine).
+1! distros may well want to configure this (for e.g. on Mandriva /tmp is a tmpfs which is never going to be able to contain a 4GB DVD ISO), and having a central key for it would be v. convenient.
We discusses a related issue on the rhythmbox list a year ago. I think we decided to use g_get_tmp_dir || g_get_home_dir instead of using the n-c-b gconf key.
file-roller too - see bug 153642.
nautilus-cd-burner has been replaced by Brasero in the GNOME 2.26 release.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.
