Re: [Enflame] K3b 0.12 is out!

[Wilan W. <res...@gm...>]

Hey,

We should probably try and think of something out of the ordinary to
make enflame more unique :) I agree, K3b is too much like KDE and I'm
not really fond of KDE for some weird reason (for one, the looks turn
me off). Well it's pretty hard to think of good things to include that
no one has done before since we are quite limited to the cdrecord
interface.

I think dlworld a while ago, suggested a network burn which is a good
idea - and/or we could have a mini-web feature that downloads an .iso
from a LAN/internet and automatically burns it for the user. Or
another feature where the user can "pile" up several burning sessions
into one, instead of having to burn one - then get ready to make
another iso, burn that one and then get ready for another - not really
revolutionary but could be a nice feature for those who like to get
their hands messy at the start and just insert blank cd/dvds after
every burn. I don't think k3b has a previewing feature of the ISO
being generated (they have a simulation but I don't *think* the user
gets to see the actual contents of their ISO), so we could have that
which is simply mounting an iso via loopback onto a mount point in
/mnt (this could be /mnt/cdrom to make it feel more "previewish" or
can be a user-specified mount point).

Or we can have more user-friendly guidelines, for example when
installing the program make sure they have SCSI emulation on for their
IDE drives, if they don't have it on - still let them install it but
just give a warning and how to turn them on. I found it frustrating
when I first used k3b and could only burn at a 0.3x speed because I
forgot to put on SCSI emulation and took me a while to figure out I
needed the emulation for it to work properly.

Hopefully we can add better and cooler features than the *aheM*
competition :) Well I got exams at the moment, so not really active
but when I finish hopefully I can get something done :p
