Description Nicolas Mailhot 2007-05-16 11:17:34 UTC 
Right now brasero resolves directory symlinks and adds them as real directories to the burn project.

This is a good default. However sometimes you need to burn a directory that contains a symlink to a huge space in /usr/share or /srv

Having a checkbox to only include symlinks that resolve within the roots drag & dropped to the burn area would help in this case

brasero-0.5.2-1.fc7.x86_64
Comment 1 Philippe Rouquier 2007-06-10 19:29:26 UTC 
That could be done. Where to put that checkbox? Would it be the first preference of brasero?
Comment 2 Nicolas Mailhot 2007-06-10 19:35:54 UTC 
Either in the tool bar or in the size bar, with an icon that changes with the resolving mode when clicked

This may be a good idea for enhancing the build in
find(1) in mkisofs (implemented via libfind). 

You may like to check before whether brasero includes
support for features in mkisofs that have been added
during the past 5 years before ;-)
