Re: CD burning in gnome

[Bob Smith <bob thestuff net>]

Actually, wouldnt the expected method would be that the file to be burned
to the CD be the exact version you drag over? IE, If you tell it to burn a
file, then modify it, the first version should be written. Likewise if you
burn a cd, then delete the file from the hd, the file shoudl be still be
burned to the cd.

Example.
User tells the burner to burn file X. He thinks its backed up, then
deletes it, then the burner doesnt burn it. HE JUST LOST HIS BACKUP! :)
