Hi, 1. Specify the volume ID, which can be considered to be the name of the image. Ok. 2. Other burning applications use the volume ID to set the volume name. What would be the difference between volume id and volume name ? Like: IMAGE_23 Joliet allows 16 UCS-2 characters. Like: Windows name Maybe indent both entries. I can do this for the man page. Do you know how to get .texi into making a moderate indentation ? I think, an article is missing. »as the name« I have no own opinion on that. So: Ok. of the mount point when the medium is inserted into a playful computer system. If that is a metaphor(?) for Microsoft Windows, note that on GNU/Linux udisks does the same. It is an euphemism for clicki-colorful desktops on any base OS. (I used playful rather than childish in order to stay polite.) Please note how ID is spelled differently in the document. Maybe it could be made consistent too. Six years of evolution in small steps. :)) There are a few problems with generally using id or ID. But it should be ok to at least consistently using ID with the various ID strings in the Primary Volume Descriptor. (Do not expect me to clarify the meaning of -volset_id. It is absolutely obscure what a volume set shall be at all.) See http://libburnia-project.org/changeset/4856 for the impact of your proposals.

Package: xorriso Version: 1.2.2-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream Dear Debian folks, reading the manual (more like skimming over and searching) I could not find a way to set the name for the medium. That name is later used by programs like `udisks` to name the mount point. The current default seems to »ISOIMAGE«. Maybe I just do not know the terms I need to search for. Then I am sorry for bothering you.
