Description many.cool.bugs 2010-08-12 20:57:56 UTC
Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

I try to make an image of a DVD reading it from /dev/sr0. On the Parameters tab of the Disk Copy dialog, (I have in fact a Russian user interface, so my translation of the tab name into English may differ from the English version) I check only one checkbox Create Image Only. In 4 seconds after pressing the Start button I receive an error. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Insert read-only disk into the drive, Service->Disk Copy menu item, on the Parameters tab of the Disk Copy dialog uncheck Remove Image File, uncheck Create Image, check Create Image Only, press Start button.

Actual Results:  
Here is the debug output:

Hi, thanks for report but this is not a bug :)
IODevice is an abstraction representing any kind of I/O interface. It may actually be a device or (as it is in your case) a file. So basically this error indicates write error during image creation. Maybe you've got too little space on your HD or some other I/O error occurred.
Comment 2 many.cool.bugs 2010-08-19 15:07:58 UTC
Hi Michał,

thank you for your reply.
Did you try to reproduce the bug? If I check both Create Image and Create Image Only then the disk is copied to an .iso file without any I/O error. But if I check only one option, that is Create Image Only, then the I/O error occurs. If the program does know how to work with the situation when only one option Create Image Only is checked, then it is better either to prohibit such checking or to fix the bug.
