- - SCSI bus is only scanned when you open the configuration dialog

What burner do you have?

Kreatecd is probably compiled in SUID mode on your machine. For security=20
reasons paths are hard-coded for non-root users in this mode. You will ha=
ve=20
to recompile kreatecd and let configure find the helper apps for you or y=
ou=20
will have to install them where kreatecd is looking for it.

There should be an "add session" button at the right side of the ISO dial=
og.=20
It doesn't show the contents of the imported session but a virtual direct=
ory=20
entry. The CD-R has to be inserted in the CD-R before pressing the button
