Burning an ISO does not mean to burn a bootable disc. And, you can burn a bootable disc without a iso-image.

I'll consider to show size of each item in the burnlist. The idea is good , but the add-procedure must not be too slow. To show space left on media you have to specify media type before starting to add. And then there are CDs with 650 mb, 700 mb, 800 mb, 900 mb. - I thought it was best that the user checked the media himself.

The image of you is rather dull, isn't it. Just a tiny makeup would have given us a fresh Will-impression

You have requested localization a time now. If you have translated Pbackup or Pfind, it would be nice to distribute it togheter with the packages. Please share it, if you have it. Pburn is not ready for translation yet, but the main structure is made ready for it.

Dear Barry
I'm flattered by your praise. I'm one of those simple guys who like to be liked. But I think we stop it right there. My financial situation is very stable. I work for money only half of the year, and that give me spare time to codelines, among other creative work.

There are others who deserve to be on that high-profiled web page. I'm thinking of those who have scanned the forum for 2 years and answered the same newbie question 'thousand' times, - and everytime, the same polite attitude. Gee; that impress me.

Talking about a pic, I have to quote a friend of mine: "Sigmund, you got a appearance that fits best on radio, and a voice that only a mother can love". Barry, MU, Lobster, Whodo, Nathan, zigbert ....... Ha ha, what a gang to promote.

But ok Barry, if you donate a pic of yourself, I'll follow.

But I do have one wish. If there ever will be a world Puppy conference.............(I'll pay my ticket).

Good point, I could live without the space left on media. Maybe though changing the MB output to GB when you reach the 1 GB point. It would be easier to read when burning to dvd.

Just butting in to mention the issue of kernel versions. It will be good of a burner to be able to move forward with the kernel version.

As an example, I find gcombust easy to use, but it can't work outside 2.13/2.16 (with kernel 2.6.18 (?)). Of course I intend to use Pburn in the future.

Other comments:

Google hairywill and it pulls up my lastfm page ahead of puppy despite all the posts I've made here. That's the power of web 2, or should that be web 2.0?

Ha ha, good for you - that your favorite site gets on top of a search. Search of mine shows my OLPC profile, not even my Puppy Linux wiki profile (I haven't been active in the OLPC wiki).

voice that only a mother can love

Lobster has a voice that everyone can love.

If there ever will be a world Puppy conference.............(I'll pay my ticket).

Now, that may just be possible. Read up here on what WSJ says about OLPC. Puppy Linux may just be the missing link for saving the AMD hardware in that project. IMHO, that AMD hardware is simply excellent. Puppy should fly in the LX700 (the current OLPC platform), as it runs well in the GX466 (abandoned by OLPC).

Nice gui. What's next Sigmund? A music file tag editor?

Does anybody know if copying a disc on the fly would be feasible?
-----------------
Edit - it seems it already does that, but only works if /dev/cdrom is not the same as your burner? Is that right?
----------------
Edit - that's not it. I'll be back in a while.

It is a bug:

Code: Select all

sh-3.00# pburn
cat: /tmp/pburn-burnlist_dir: No such file or directory
cat: /tmp/pburn-search: No such file or directory

** ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error in line 29, near token '</text>': syntax error

aborting...
Usage: file [-bcikLhnNsvz] [-f namefile] [-F separator] [-m magicfiles] file...
       file -C -m magicfiles
Try `file --help' for more information.
dd: opening `': No such file or directory
[1]+  Done                    "$APPDIR"/box_splash

I didn't test with anything newer than 2.16

Thanks for bug report. You don't have cdrdao installed and didn't get the main copy-disc-dialog. With cdrdao installed you will be able to copy discs on-the-fly.

What's next Sigmund? A music file tag editor?

Well, I have (or had) a draft of a puppy music player. But in the end a realized, that what we need is not a player (already there), but a tool to organize songs and albums. When you have a tool like this, why not let it organize whatever....

This tool will integrate pfind. If I succeed... - and that is not sure. Since this is a new type of tool, there are no other to spy on. But, if I succeed, it will be the next generation of Pfind.

Ah - quite right. Sorry about that.

zigbert, just in case you don't know about it, there's a great little utility app in Puppy3 and Puppy4 named 'cddetect'. It's particularly nice for detecting if the drive tray is open or a cd/dvd not inserted.

Posted: **Mon 03 Dec 2007, 16:32**

Thank you Barry, I didn't know.

Is there a way to select a directory or file from another program or file manager and add it to the burnlist in pburn? I'm talking before pburn is even open. I was wanting to add a directory via another program to a temp file then execute pburn with that directory populated in the files to burn section.

BTW, I burned a dvd video today with pburn and the percentage output wasn't truncated like it was when I burned the cd iso. It was probably just some fluke thing.

from the helpfile:

Code: Select all

< Parameters >
Pburn accept 2 parameters from terminal:
-d dir    Start Pburn with alternative browser directory.
-i file    Import list (textfile) with filenames.

Is this what you need, or?

Version 0.2 is uploaded. See mainpost.

Posted: **Wed 05 Dec 2007, 15:38**

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed. Can't wait to try out 0.2, looks good.

Posted: **Wed 05 Dec 2007, 17:01**

in 0.2 when I add files it just shows the size and doesn't show the files themselves in the Files To Burn portion.

plinej
- Do you use the latest gtkdialog package: 0.7.20?
- Does it happen both from browser and search?
- Are the links in temporary dir made?
- Did you exit previous Pburn with 'quit-button' or from jwm ('X'-button)?

Posted: **Thu 06 Dec 2007, 20:01**

Thanks for nice program. I am using Pburn_0.1 with PuppyRus, and we plannig to translate this program in russian.

Posted: **Thu 06 Dec 2007, 22:54**

Yeah, I'm using gtkdialog 0.7.20 (in puppy 4 alpha 2). I'm not sure what happened but I just re-installed 0.2 and it's working just fine. Thanks for the program.

Could you also add the size of directories just like you did with the files, and maybe convert the size from kb's to mb's?

When we get this stable, next big upgrade will include language support.

plinej wrote:Could you also add the size of directories just like you did with the files, and maybe convert the size from kb's to mb's?

The size calculating in 0.2 is the best I got with speed.

Code: Select all

find ....... -printf "%k kb|%f\n"
