Description Francois Marier 2007-07-30 08:12:28 UTC

Version:           1.0.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Hi Sebastian,

I'm not sure whether this behaviour is due to wodim or K3b, but spikethehobbitmage@excite.com noticed the following (http://bugs.debian.org/434836):

  If a burn is cancelled before the disk is written to, k3b
  acknowledges the cancel and then flushes the buffer.  This
  effectivly destroys write-once media.

  If a burn is cancelled before any data is written, no data
  should be written.

There is nothing K3b can do here. wodim does the flushing when it is killed.

In an attempt to clean up old bugs that are not valid for K3b 2.0 (=KDE SC 4.x port) anymore, this is now being marked as UNMAINTAINED.
If this bug is still valid for 2.0, please reopen it.
