Hi there!
Nice app, I especially like the integrated DVD-authoring things.
Though some thoughts/questions.
Currently the app is quite unfriendly for packagers it seems.
I tried, or I did a gentoo ebuild for it, but I see some issues which I cannot solve w/o editing the source, which isn't available for free if I got that right.
I installed it to /usr/share/GrabAndBurn-20061124 including the html help stuff, but when I click on "Help contents" or whatever, this is what g&b does:
Code:
DEBUG0 from capp_application.cpp:1404 Displaying link "file:///home/tom/rocket-html/default.htm" in external browser.
DEBUG0 from capp_application.cpp:1420 Could not execute netscape.
DEBUG0 from capp_application.cpp:1431 mozilla started.
Well, but the help stuff is not in pwd, but in /usr/share/GrabAndBurn-20061124/rocket-html/default.htm, also the binary is in /usr/share/GrabAndBurn-20061124/RocketGrabAndBurn and symlinked to /usr/bin.
Next i wonder what will happen if $user starts the app from e.g. /, where $user has no write permission, what will happen to cdb.log, which currently gets written to pwd?
And what should the license be called - no chance to get that accepted in any distribution without a license, and may it be closed, but we need one at all. And does it contain GPL'ed code?
And what are the actual dependencies?
