Dear Joachim:As I said, this is so simple a 2 year old childcould do it, yetseems to stump grown-up.That's so often the case... ;)It's the step between the first screenshotand the second that has me completely baffled (ifnot downrightbatty). How do I copy all the files to ///burn,when ///burn changesto something else.What do you mean by that? Changes to what?Could you please guide me step by step, using myscreenshots as to what to expect and how to dothis.Have you tried looking at the GNOME user guide? If you did, and that was not helpful, could you point out the parts of it that were unclear or unhelpful, so I can try to improve it?It looks like you dropped the files in thelocation bar (where "burn://"is written) instead of dropping them in the bigwhite rectangleunderneath.That's worth noting if that's the case - maybe the drop target needs to be made even clearer. Maybe a "Drop files here" background or something.I think that would be overkill. The burn:/// is basically a magic folder. You put things into the burn folder, and then you burn the CD or DVD. The thing already looks like a folder, so we really don't need to say 'put stuff here'. And in the default spatial view, there's no location bar anyway.

Answers Beta – A new place to get answers to your questions – Try it http://uk.answers.yahoo.com I am sorry to disagree. The ///burn location looks like a protocol. There is no way in the world to guess that you are supposed to place the files from My Computer BELOW this in the empty, blank space that could mean everything and nothing. Why cause your users to agonize over something that a simple arrow and/or explanatory text can easily prevent. After all, isn't Nautilus CD Burning meant for the ordinary user? I'll bet even more experienced users will be baffled by the present situation. I have never seen a program that is so simple made so agonizingly complicated to the point of madness. Benjamin |
