GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 476423
Configurable CD/DVD burning app
Last modified: 2008-12-16 11:15:09 UTC
As the summary says it would be awesome to have this option in the capplet. We got a bug asking to integrate this in g-c-c so Places->Cd/DVD Creator menu can push other applications. Set this as a blocker for #347648 see comment #2. This will of course help Gnome integration with media-optical applications on the desktop. Thanks
This information is already stored in gconf by gnome-volume-properties. I don't think it is a good idea to manage these preferences from preferred applications capplet too.
It's the one in the panel menu when you click shortcuts that matters here, not the default applications launched by gnome-volume-manager. If I'm wrong could you indicate the path for the gconf key that controls default application in panel please.
Philippe, you are right, it is the application launched by g-v-m, but nobody prevents Nautilus or gnome-panel from reading and using this gconf key too.
so, if a patch making panel use these very same keys was provided, would it have any chance to be accepted ?
Philippe, I don't know. Having such a feature will hide Nautilus burning capabilities and the only way to have them back would be to manually point file manager to burn:///. On the other side this would be a nice feature for a user who never burns cd/dvd with nautilus. I think that this could be better discussed on nautilus mailing list :)
Back to the topic again: I still think the best option is to get the prefered application capplet doing the job between choosing the applications and then get the panel to use the capplet information. This way the users can choose easily between which app they want to use.
Luis, so you want to select the default burning application both from gnome-volume-properties *and* gnome-default-applications-properties?
No what i mean is we got to find a easy solution for this problem of course we don't want to select the default burning app from g-v-m and g-c-c. The main problem is because n-c-b is hardcoded on panel menu which is wrong.
Indeed I would keep this option in g-v-m, patching n-c-b to use it. In this case the product of this bug should be moved to nautilus-cd-burner (and the summary rearranged).
I don't think n-c-b is the right place for this. You don't patch one CD burning application (or library) to use another CD burning application. But let's see what the panel guys think.
Ops, of course I meant: "patching gnome-panel to use it" (or wherever this feature is coded) :)
