GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 621536
Dialog "New blank DVD inserted" shown between erasing and burning

Created attachment 163574 [details] The offending dialog (Czech locale, sorry - but you get the idea) When I want to burn some ISO contents to a DVD RW that already contains some data, Brasero asks me whether it should erase current content. I hit yes. After the content is erased, Brasero starts burning the new content. But (and that's the problem) a dialog "A new black DVD has been inserted: What do you want to do? (actions listed) Eject-Cancel-OK" is also shown. Also an icon "Blank DVD" appears on the desktop. That is very confusing. In one dialog I see "Burning DVD" and in a second dialog I see "Blank DVD inserted, what do you want to do?". I don't know if that "New blank DVD inserted" dialog is part of Brasero or it is part of Nautilus or something. But Brasero should make sure that after finishing erasing the DVD and before starting the new burn process that DVD is not marked as "blank and available" (or kind of), so no applications will respond to that.
Thanks for the report. In this case this is definitely a nautilus dialog (I checked) that gets popped up every time a removable device. The problem here is that after GNOME moved away from HAL we lost device locking (AFAIK but I may have missed it) and there is no way for brasero to tell other app across the desktop that they should not be using a particular device. Re-assigning to nautilus to see what are their thoughts about the issue.
Same underlying issue as bug 579026. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 579026 ***
