Version: 0.12.15 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux K3b doesn't seem to support ISO Level 4 (9660:1999) file systems, or it's not listed in DVD -> Burn -> Advanced. It's problematic for those files/folders that have very long names (over the limit of afaik 128 or 256).
actually, from the mkisofs manpage: "With level 4, [...] the maximum length for files and directory is raised to 207" while Rock Rigde allows filenames of length up to 255 characters. So nobody really needs iso4 on linux. I will add support anyway in a while but for now the problems with verification would just get more and more....
Thanks. I didn't know that. Rock Ridge seems good enough. I'll just have to get a bit more reading done on it to see its compatibility in Windows (> XP).
Last I heard, Rock Ridge wasn't supported by Windows XP. Also, how does this affect long filenames that don't differ in the first 37 characters? *action: Votes for this bug* Besides, this isn't GNOME. The "advanced" section exists for a reason. It's shenanigans like this that have driven me to call mkisofs by hand more and more frequently.
I can't really believe that there are that many situations in which joliet is not enough. And please keep sentences like "It's shenanigans like this..." to yourself or help improving K3b.
Actually, I run into cases where 103 characters isn't enough quite commonly when ripping classical music to FLAC and then pushing the flac to DVD+R. As for the "shenanigans", my sincere apologies. I'm amazed I wrote that (especially since I don't drink coffee so I can't use "I hadn't had my morning coffee" as an excuse) and, if I can ever free up the time to learn C++, I'll gladly contribute.

I vote for this too. I need it because i backup using k3b both my company and home's data of which can include several files and folders inside eachother. Many are dynamic/static html files which can have up to 30 characters in their names each.. add that all up and you get quite a lot of characters =/ Good luck On Friday 18 May 2007, Sebastian Trueg wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
