nautilus-cd-burner tries too hard to be a file manager and as a result
its task-oriented UI sucks, its menu entry is not in the right place,
etc
Something like brasero that reuses good parts of the nautilus file
selector but is dedicated to burning without trying to be something else
is much more user-friendly (not that brasero couldn't be improved a lot,
but at least its basics are sound)
Ok, let's compare this to the Apple burner UI (not their strong point,
to be fair).
To create a new data disk, other than the integrated "export" functions
in iPhoto, iTunes, etc. you need to:
- Open the Disk Utility
- Create a new image of a certain size (will show up on the Desktop)
- Drag'n'drop files using the file manager in the disk utility
- Burn the image back in the Disk Utility
What do you think of:
- when blank CD/DVD is inserted, popup non-spatial nautilus window, with
the sidebar tree rooted at CD/DVD creator
- remove CD/DVD creator from the places menu
- Add a "Master and burn CD/DVD" application entry in the system tools
menu
Would it make the task smoother? This is why I asked for use-cases and
workflows, they're not just for show, they're useful.
