Version: 2.0.1 (using KDE 4.5.3) OS: Linux If I try to burn a DVD with more data than it can hold, the available data space automatically increases from 4.4 GiB to 8.0 GiB (capacity of BluRay?) and the message appears "Please insert a suitable medium", which made me think (wrongly) that there was some problem with wodim. I would expect an error box saying "Insufficient space on medium for project" or a more informative error message. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Insert DVD into drive Start a data project Put more than 4.4 GiB data into the project (I loaded 6 GiB) Click "Burn" Actual Results: Message "Please insert a suitable medium" Expected Results: Error box or message " Error box or message "Insufficient space on medium for project"

Git commit 6b7df0ba4aa47e1129e797e53a6844e4237ae50d by Michal Malek, on behalf of José Millán Soto. Committed on 03/05/2013 at 09:18. Pushed by mmalek into branch 'master'. Inform the user if the inserted medium is not suitable In the burn dialog, the message displayed when an incorrect medium was inserted was the same that the one when there was no medium inserted. As a result, the user might think that there's a problem with the device instead of a problem with the medium. If there's a medium inserted on a device but it's no suitable (for example if it's a CD and it should be a DVD, or if it's a read-only medium, or if the capacity of the medium is not enough), the user will be informed of the reason of the issue. mediaRequestStrings added as a static method to Medium class. This method takes as parameters a list of unsuitable mediums and the requeriments for a medium to be suitable and returns a QStringList with messages describing the problem of each unsuitable medium. MediaSelectionComboBox was modified to call mediaRequestStrings when a medium is inserted but is not suitable.
