Description chris-kde 2005-06-05 13:57:07 UTC 
Version:           0.11.23 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

When first starting K3B, it displays:
New Audio CD Project, New Data CD Project, New Data DVD Project, Copy CD.
It is not immediately obvious that there are other project types (such as mixed audio and data) available which lead me to initially assume that they were not supported by K3B.

If there were another button on the main screen (like More, Other or Advanced) that causes the full list to be shown, then this would allow people to easily see what is supported.

I realise (now) this is available by going to 
File->New Project, but it was a some time before I discovered this.
Comment 1 Sebastian Trueg 2005-06-05 21:55:00 UTC 
in a way this has already been solved in 0.12. There is a little info message under the buttons informing the user about the menu. But maybe a button like the one you suggest is a better idea...

SVN commit 607122 by trueg:

* New "further actions" button in the welcome widget.
* Restrict the charset for volume descriptor fields to latin1.
  This is not the actual standard but should work almost everywhere.
  The standard would be too restricted for most users (only upper case)
* Fixed a crash recently introduced.
