Burn to pre-mounted disk hangs with "estimating size" message
Last modified: 2013-01-17 16:32:05 UTC
Running brasero under KDE, if brasero is started via right click on an ISO image and the target disk is already mounted and recognized, the brasero burn dialog comes up with the "Burn" button greyed out, and then covers itself with a popup saying "Please wait until the estimation of size is completed". This popup stays there until cancelled. If you eject the disk and start brasero in the same way, the burn dialog comes up requesting a disk. If you load the same disk, as soon as it automounts, the burn dialog changes with the "Burn" button enabled and you can proceeed without any problem. cf Mageia bugzilla https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6971
This happened consistently for several months, but it has stopped happening in Mageia cauldron, so I assume it's been fixed.
