I haven't done any DND yet but is there any difference at all? When KreateCD 
accepts drops of a certain type - shouldn't it accept drops from any 
application?

Hmm, first it must be checked whether mkisofs support for exclusion of files 
works and can be used for such things. Adding files should be no problem. I 
think mkisofs accepts multiple source directories for on ISO dir.

Using network files as image files might be much easier as using them for ISO 
mastering. We must ensure that these files are not downloaded twice. (e.g 
first when calculating image size, then again when building the image). A 
solution might be to keep the temporary file as long as the IsoFile object.

You are already added to the project.  Go to the project homepage at 
sourceforge. There are instructions how to checkout the CVS tree as 
developer. (with r/w access)

If diffs are small, sending to the list might be OK, but if a diff is >4KB, 
please send it to me. I'll have a look at it and commit it to CVS.
