SUMMARY

I have two PIONEER BD-RW writer devices in my desktop computer, but I can only use the first one with K3b, which is hardware configured as /dev/sr0. I would like to be able to select the second PIONEER BD-RW writer device, which is hardware configured as /dev/sr1.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go into K3b Settings and select Configure K3b...
2. Click on Devices.
3. It shows a window saying Optical Devices, but only shows the first writer drive, PIONEER BD-RW Writer Device /dev/sr0 and no second one as /dev/sr1.

OBSERVED RESULT

Only one PIONEER BD-RW Writer Device /dev/sr0 is shown.

EXPECTED RESULT

Showing two PIONEER BD-RW Writer Devices as /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1.
