Comment 1 Fabio Bonelli 2006-12-04 17:15:15 UTC
After further investigations:
- This occurs when the symlink points to a directory
- If you try to burn a symlink pointing to a file, that symlink will be burned even if on the disc it will become a broken link. This doesn't seem right.

mapping-daemon.c defines VIRTUAL_NODE_FILE and VIRTUAL_NODE_DIRECTORY for a VirtualNodeType, but handles symlinked directories as VIRTUAL_NODE_FILEs.

nautilus-cd-burner has been replaced by Brasero in the GNOME 2.26 release.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.
