Bug Description
I have found that none of the installed CD/DVD burner apps in Ubuntu 7.10 can do multi-session burns. This is a very bad idea. One of Windows strengths, is that its CD/DVD burners are multi-session by default. If Ubuntu wants this project to give Windose a good thrashing, then a program like Brasero should be installed out of the box, and the setting for multi-session burns should be set as default. Brasero asks you to check the multi-session burn check box each time. Too many steps. I hope that Hefty Heron will have this multi-session burn program installed by default. There are some newbies and switchers that want everything to run in Ubuntu as easily as Windoze right out of the box. Now with this new agreement with Dell computers, (congratulations!) this feature is even more imperative. I have not investigated K3B as it is a KDE program, but if it has multi-session burning ability, it should be included as a user choice. There are blogs speaking about gnome-baker. I don't see it in the Add/Remove, or in Synaptic Pkg Mgr. Please investigate, and I will look for this in either in future updates, or in Hefty Heron in April/May.
Thanks for listening.
Fixed: brasero will be included in hardy by default.
Btw. you should be able to find gnomebaker in both add/remove programs and synaptic. Maybe if you write it without the "-"?
