Description
Please describe the problem: Hi. Not sure if this problem is for nautilus, gnome-vfs-daemon, gnome-mount, or whatever, so I'll start at the top. Please forward as appropriate.
I have a photo CDR, and I'm pretty sure that the disc is not "closed", that is, it can accept additional recording sessions. (How do I confirm this?) When I put the disc in, it is mounted correctly, but Nautilus thinks it is a blank disc. No device icon shows up on the desktop (it should, I have that flag set) and the device in the nautilus "Go" menu says "CD/DVD Creator", which takes me to location "burn:///"
I can access the CDR contents just fine through the mount point (/media/cdrom0 for me) and I can unmount it with umount. However my wife has a little trouble with the command-line and prefers the pointy-clicky interface. She can't access or eject the disc because it does not show up as a CD-Rom device to Nautilus (or gnome-vfs-daemon or whatever)
Interestingly, upon mounting "it" sees the pictures and tries to import the photos into f-spot (whoever "it" is that is examining the disc contents.) It does not prompt to open the CD burning utility.
Steps to reproduce:
- Burn a CDR and leave the disc "open"
- Mount the disc, using some kind of automatic mounting tool, such as with Ubuntu
- Look in the Nautilus "Go" menu, see if it shows the CD rom or "CD/DVD Creator"
Actual results: It is detected as a blank CDR, "CD/DVD Creator"
Expected results: Not sure. I suggest exposing both "interfaces" to the device, the CD/DVD Creator if you want to add more files, and the regular CD rom interface if you want to access the files that are already on the disc. Or maybe prompt the user when the drive is mounted, something like "Do you want to add more data to this disk? Yes/No"
Does this happen every time? Yes.
