Comment 5 for bug 922327

While my laptop has no optical drive, I hardly see burning discs as obsolete or optional. I do use a DVD burner on another machine on a regular basis and without it I'd have a bit of a problem.

I think the 'Burn to disc' contract should never show up for text files. And I would also say it should not show up on my laptop without a burner. But removing Brasero is not a solution, it's removing features because Contractor is too inflexible.

The real solution would be to make Contractor aware that "Brasero" requires "/dev/cdrw" or "/dev/dvdrw" to exist. It would not be enough to do at install time, because some people use external devices.
