If ISO won't fit on CD-RW, tell user before erasing CD

[Jonathan DePrizio]

Binary package hint: nautilus-cd-burner

Prereqs: A CD-RW disk with data previously written to it; an ISO of greater size than the CD-RW media.

Platform:
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
nautilus-cd-burner:
  Installed: 2.24.0-0ubuntu1

Summary: If a selected ISO is too large to fit on the CD-RW, nautilus-cd-burner should tell the user about this BEFORE it erases the data on the CD-RW. Currently, it erases the CD-RW disk, and THEN tells the user that the ISO is too large for the media selected.

Method of execution: Right-clicking on an ISO, "Write to disk"

Steps to reproduce:
1. Aquire a CD-RW disk of size X (e.g, 650 MB).
2. Write some data to the disk, successfully.
3. Aquire an ISO file larger than the size of the disk (e.g, 700MB).
4. Attempt to write the ISO the CD-RW.

Results:
a) You are prompted to first erase the contents of the disk. Do this.
b) The program will erase the disk contents.
c) The program will then tell you that the ISO will not fit on the disk.

Better behaviour:
Immediately upon attempting to write, present the error that the ISO is too large for the CD-RW media. Do not erase anything.
