Copy disc to ISO image always uses "brasero.iso" by default

[Twisted Lincoln, Inc.]

Binary package hint: brasero

Brasero's predecessor (nautilus-cd-burner) would automatically name ISO images the same as the volume name of the disc being copied.

Brasero always uses "brasero.iso" as the default name, forcing you to manually change the name when ripping multiple discs to ISO images.

At the very least, Brasero should be smart enough to add digits to the end of the disc name if the same name ISO already exists in the destination directory (ie: brasero(2).iso, brasero(3).iso, etc).

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME ; Thanks in advance!

Thanks for sending upstream.

confirmed that there is fix in brasero version 2.30.2 (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS). It appends number when the ISO image brasero.iso exists.
brasero-1.iso brasero-2.iso and so on.

[Vish (vish)]

Yes , its fixed in brasero version 2.30.2 , Lucid

Good to know the appending of the number issue has been fixed -- how about using the volume name as the file name instead of "brasero"? Or should I just open a separate bug for that, since this one seems to be closed?

[Takashi Osako (takashi-osako)]

Brasero always uses "brasero.iso" as default iso name, but you are saying that Brasero should use CD's volume name as default name? My impression of this bug fix requirement was the last paragraph.

Looks like the wording of my original bug could have been better, sorry. The appending of digits after the "brasero" file name was my idea of a stop-gap solution so the program would still be usable. But my actual request was to use the volume name of the disc as the file name as nautilus-cd-burner did.

Without such functionality, making backups of multiple discs in a row is very tedious. Would opening a new bug be the proper thing to do, or should this bug be re-opened and my wording adjusted? I'm not of sure the proper procedure.

Opening a new bug report on launchpad would be better.

agree with Vish
