Add ability to add files to multisession CD-R/RW discs

[Tim Hull]

Currently, Nautilus appears to have no ability to add files to multisession
CD-R/RW discs.
This is an impoirtant function of CD burning, and should be added for Hoary.

There is a bug open for that upstream which is closed, feel free to argue on it:

@Sebastien

I see you closed this Bug because it was rejected by upstream.

Isn't it possible this could be fixed by Ubuntu itself due to the importance of it in terms of usability?
I noticed there is also a blueprint about that
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/multi-session-burning

I reopen it in order to make it visible to all other people.

no, we will not work on this in a distribution specific way, it makes sense to convince upstream if that's something that would really benifit users

[Sergio Zanchetta (primes2h)]

I don't want to appear boring, but what is the reason you wouldn't work on
this in a distribution way?
Thanks.

because carrying non trivial changes in the package creates extra work, require updating the patch when the code change, makes upstream unhappy because the software is not the same on different distributions, make them receive bugs for things they didn't write and we don't have the manpower to work on that right now anyway
