Yes, it is redundant. Also there is no such dialog window on other 
occasions when user cancels some activity. I have removed this in my 
local copy of code, will commit it soon.

This is because process window (the one displaying information about 
current task, and about progress) is called at too low level. The proces 
window is called and distroyed several times during e.g. burning of 
image to disc, and there are some gaps in between. Creating the window 
once, at higher level, at the beginning of burning image to disc, then 
updating content of the window as needed, and then closing the window at 
the very end of the task would resolve this problem.

I would like to redesign this, but it may not be that simple. This is 
already on my TODO list, and it is rather high on the list.

No. Verification would include reading content burned to DVD. This can't 
be done with libcdio (which is used for reading CD), so I will have to 
use additional library (probably libdvdread, I haven't looked into it 
too much yet). This may be added in 0.6.0, but I can't promise that.

That's one of best encouragements I've seen so far :) Thanks!

Thank you for sending me your opinions, I really appreciate them. I will 
take them into consideration when creating next version of cdw.

Kind regards,
