Re: Coaster-lib

YEs Iain I know...Iain has done a lot of nit picking on the gui for me
and it has to to this. When you click "Burn" a new dialog asking you if
you would like to proceed pops up and has the yes/no and even a make cd
bootable check box. I think the bootable otions will be changes in the
prefs...however my time with the gui is small as I am focasing on the
core cd burning lib itself. Keep in touch if any ideas or thoughts come
to mind. Please do join #coaster on irc.gnome.org and use that as a base
for disscussions with me. Thanks.
