Package: gcombust
Version: 0.1.47-1
Severity: normal
When you have added some Data files in gcombust and click
"Compute estimate", mkisofs (or mkhybrid) is run to calculate
the size of the files. mkisofs may fail, but gcombust
swallows the error message and prints this instead:
** WARNING **: modify_file_set.c 146: There were problems calculating
the size; perhaps your mkisofs/mkhybrid is too old for gcombust?
And the size of the files in the CList becomes 0.0 MB.
This was the error message produced by mkisofs (not printed by gcombust):
mkisofs: Error: 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123
45678901234.abc and 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
012345678901234.def have the same Joliet name
mkisofs: Joliet tree sort failed.
My suggestion: have gcombust redirect STDERR output of mkisofs to
the terminal STDERR, or cache it and print it in some dialog window.
Otherwise it is very hard to detect it. The burning process will
start anyway, which will only result in havoc in the end...
