Description sebastian 2017-10-31 20:40:41 UTC
I am working on "Kubuntu 17.O4LTS" With "K3B ver 17.04.0" and my problem is:

I) I burn a DVD+R with "start multisession" option

II) With my previous DVD+R
    1) I choose "More actions..."
    2) I choose "Continue Multisession Project"
    3) The sessions list appears 
    4) I choose the last session then I press "OK"

=>Result: nothing happens

Hi,

If i only would better understand the C++ oriented architecture of K3B.
When looking for the code which controls the multi-session "import",
i get quite lost. Only guideline is my backend knowledge. (The fog gets
thinner when i see media type names or SCSI specific terms.)

Up to now i only found an otherwise suspicious spot in line 155 of
  src/projects/k3bdatamultisessionimportdialog.cpp
where K3B looks for MEDIA_DVD_PLUS_RW and MEDIA_DVD_RW_OVWR but not for
the similarly behaving types BD-RE and DVD-RAM. (Now i wonder why
multi-session on BD-RE is reported to be possible. Maybe i am looking
at the wrong spot in the code ...)

Whatever, we talk here about DVD+R which is a multi-session medium
on hardware level that should be perceived as STATE_INCOMPLETE if it
is already written and still appendable.
But the code piece, where the dialog causes the start of a mkisofs run,
is still on my to-search list. I.e. what code is executed after sebastian's
step 4 ?

Somebody should donate to Leslie a DVD burner in a USB box and a few media.

My suggestion was to run in a shell terminal while the DVD+R is already
inserted in the drive:

  dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/sr0

and to show the output text of that program run.
(If you have more than one optical drive, then it could also be /dev/sr1
 or even a higher number.)

Have a nice day :)

Hi sebastian,

If you haven't experienced Compiling K3B from source code, please ask Łukasz (someone report the same bug as verion 17.04.0) to help you https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379268#c50
