Description Maciej Pilichowski 2007-01-23 14:46:13 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

This is a fork of:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140444

I put here again the facts:
External usb burner, the CDRW disc with normal data inserted, capacity auto-detection turned on, the disc is 650, but k3b shows still 700MB as a capacity indicator.

From the reply in the original report I guess what is going on -- k3b detects the disc is not recordable (it contains) data and does not check if the disc is _erasable_. And in fact it is -- so it is perfectly ok, to erase it and burn again.

Comment 1 Sebastian Trueg 2007-01-23 15:06:22 UTC

found this comment in my code. Sadly I do not really know what I mean by that. 
Stupid short comments!

// FIXME: unless we do not know the real capacity of CD-RW media we can only
// use empty here

I will look into it.

Comment 2 Sebastian Trueg 2007-01-23 15:11:45 UTC

SVN commit 626495 by trueg:

Since my comment is way to short and I cannot understand the reason anymore I just removed it
and with it added support for CD-RW for auto project size detection.

This should be a reminder for me to write proper comments. ;)
