nautilus-cd-burner silently fails when directory depth is too large

[Jamie Strandboge]

Binary package hint: nautilus-cd-burner

If you drag a directory with a deep directory tree, then do 'Write disc', nautilus-cd-burner silently fails. Brasero gives this type of warning:

The children of this directory will have 6 parent directories. This is a violation of the ISO9660 standard which only allows 6.
Brasero can create an image of such a file hierarchy and burn it; but the media may not be readable on all operating systems.
NOTE: such a file hierarchy is known to work on

nautilus-cd-burner should do the same.

Does Brasero actually burn the resulting images for you?

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

I didn't try, but the message made it clear that it would. The point was that nautilus-cd-burner should have a similar warning.

the software was replaced by a brasero backend, is this still an issue with karmic?
