Version: 0.11.23 (using KDE 3.4.0, Debian Package 4:3.4.0-0ubuntu3.1 (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.10-5-386 I tried to add some files to a data cd project which were on a removable USB hard disk. I used the media io slave to locate the files. The problem is that k3b complained "You can only select local files." The files are obviously local as they are on a usb disk connected directly to my laptop. This really raises another issue as well. Why does k3b only allow me to add local files. Why can't I burn a data cd from files on a network. k3b should just copy them for me to a tempory place if it is a problem of speed or always create the iso before burning and not allow on the fly burning.
no, the files are not local as far as k3b is concerned. they are accessed through a kio slave which are not supported by k3b. adding support is not that simple if you want to do it right. K3b could just copy them to the local harddisk but that would be an awful solution and would also introduce some further problems when saving the project. So for now there will be no kio support in k3b.
Why is it not possible to just store the URL's in the project? What would be the problem with this? If they don't exist next time the project is opened that it no different to a local file no longer being in existance when a project is re-opened. The media IO slave is a local io slave anyway. You can't get more local than a USB cable. In fact, my external USB disk has significantly faster performance than the one builtin to my laptop which k3b seems to consider "local". I hope this will get fixed soon. Great program though! Thanks
