Missing feature for CD drive and CD-RW

[Laurent GUERBY]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Two minor features are missing in nautilus:

1/ In Places/computer, on right click on the CD drive icon there is no option to "close tray" (equivalent to "eject -t" in command line)

2/ When inserting a CD-RW disk in the drive, when right clicking on its icon or launching the CD creator tool there is no option to "blank" it.
"fast blank" and "complete blank" would usefully complete the possibilities.

Thank you for your bug. Could you describe one problem only by bug? I'm closing your feature requests, The "close tray" option doesn't look like something that many users would have use for (you usually close the tray when you put a CD in the drive or get the CD you just ejected) and it would cluter the UI. nautilus-cd-burner ask if you want to blank the CD when you try to write something on it

[Laurent GUERBY (laurent-guerby)]

Ok I'll keep on 2/

Blanking CD-RW is offered by *all* CD burning software excepted nautilus.

And the reason it is there because people actually use this feature (in particular complete blanking), having a dummy 700MB ISO around just to blank a CD-RW is not a "user friendly" solution, don't you think?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

why do you need to blank a CD if you don't want to record something else on it?

[Laurent GUERBY (laurent-guerby)]

Because I want to remove the data that is on it (at least superficially - it's not high security stuff). Just like "rm -rf" for a regular disk data :).

That request has already been made upstream on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312100 and rejected. If you want to argue about it could you do it upstream? We are not likely to implement something upstream doesn't want about for its software

[Laurent GUERBY (laurent-guerby)]

Ok I'll try upstream, thanks for pointing me the bugzilla!
