Copy cd dialog
Last modified: 2008-12-16 16:50:32 UTC
Yesterday my gf tried to copy some audio CDs herself on my PC. She got to the copy dialog just fine but there she got stuck because of two things: a) the disc name field was grayed out but she tried to modify it never the less. IMHO if a disc does not support settings a CD name, there should be no entry field. For just showing the disc name, there could just be a normal label (like data size). b) the dialog button says "Write" and she argued (correctly, because there's only one optical drive) that she first wants to _read_ the disc before she can write anything. Then she concluded that the dialog must be the wrong one... IMHO changing the button label to "Copy" would help a lot. Finally I wonder if anyone actually changes the write speed... "maximum possible" never caused my any trouble so perhaps the "Write options" could be moved to a "Advanced Options" expanding area?

I fixed b), which made complete sense. 2008-12-16 Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> * src/ncb-selection-dialog.c (update_source), (ncb_selection_dialog_init): When copying a disc, make the action button be "Copy" and not "Write" (Closes: #548211) As for the disc name, we know we can't change the disc name when copying discs, but it still serves a purpose when copying data discs, as it allows us to see the name of the disc to copy. For audio CDs, it's not useful, but we don't know whether it's an audio CD until we actually read it, and after the window has been shown. So please file a separate bug if you have any other ideas how to enhance that.
