Public bug reported: Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake Nautilus 2.14.3
Steps to reproduce: - Insert a blank DVD (I used a DVD+RW) - Add a lot of files (mine where on a NTFS partition and added up to 4 GB) - Press the "Write to disc" button - Wait a while And creating the ISO starts, followed by burning that ISO to the disc. What doesn't happen: It's totally unclear to the user wether the burn process has started yes, if I didn't hear the harddisc make some noise, I would have pressed the "Write to disc" button a few more times. What should happen: A dialog should popup with a progressbar (be it finite or infinite) and tell the user Nautilus is busy indexing the files to be burnt (at least I think Nautilus is doing that). And the "Write to disc" button should get disabled. This way the user gets informed what is going on, and that his/her system is budy indexing, now it seems like Nautilus burning doesn't work. Read chapter 7 of the Gnome HIG (http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/), it tells us the user should be notified if something is going to take a little bit longer, so the user doesn't get frustrated. ** Affects: nautilus-cd-burner (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed ** Description changed: Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake Nautilus 2.14.3 Steps to reproduce: - Insert a blank DVD (I used a DVD+RW) - Add a lot of files (mine where on a NTFS partition and added up to 4 GB) - Press the "Write to disc" button - Wait a while And creating the ISO starts, followed by burning that ISO to the disc.
