Version: 0.12.10 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0KDE 3.4.3) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable PackagesDebian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux "A. Costa" <agcosta@gis.net> reported the following on the Debian bug tracker (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=352005): See .png file for screen-shot of an error message** that seems quite self-contradictory: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/K3B_errror.png?bug=352005;msg=5;att=1 Specifically: 1) There's a new HP blank disk in my DVD burner. 2) Message says it's found some empty media. (true) 3) Message says insert a "CD-R(W) medium" in the same drive. 4) Window title bar says "Waiting for disk". (false) (**I'd copy n' paste it, but the error text wasn't selectable.) Now #2 is true, but #3 is needless, and #4 is false. Also, #3 asks for a "CD-R(W)" disk, which is misleading -- I want to burn a DVD-R disk, not a CD-R. In #3 "medium" is vague -- it should say "disc", which is more specific, or nothing, since the final 'D' in "CD" and "DVD" already stands for "disc". Suggested replacement: Please insert an empty or appendable disc. ...but only when a disc is actually missing, of course.
DVD vs. CD. Not a bug at all.
Sorry, I think the bug should have been titled differently (and set as cosmetic -- my mistake). What the user suggested is that this message be clarified slightly. Instead of saying "Waiting for disc", if K3B was expecting a different disc, the title bar could say: Wrong disc type ...and follow with an explanation like: The drive contains a 'foo' disc, but your current K3B Project is set up for a 'bar' disc. To continue remove the 'foo' disc and insert the correct 'bar' disc. ...that way the user knows, and also knows that K3B knows: 1) There is a disc in the drive. 2) It's the wrong kind. 3) The kind needed is 'bar'. 4) How to fix it.
