Software Update: K3b 0.12.9

Spread the love

For burning CDs and DVDs you can use the K3b program on the Linux platform. It is optimized for a KDE environment and really it is nothing more than one GUI. The actual burning is done by the command line utilities cdrecord, cdrdao and growisofs. Version 0.12.9 is now available with the following changes:

K3b 0.12.9 is probably the first minor K3b release that introduces a new feature: an Alsa audio output plugin. But that’s not all. Some localization problems that bugged you for quite some time have been fixed, too. And thanks to Marcel K3b now has a complete new action and project icon set. See a list of all the changes below.

changes:

  • New project dcop calls:
    • directBurn() – directly starts the burn process without user interaction.
    • setBurnDevice(QString) – set the burn device to be used.
  • Disable the cd-text fields if cd-text writing is disabled.
  • New Alsa audio output plug-in.
  • If a DVD project does not fill up the DVD completely do not close the DVD in automatic multisession mode.
  • Fixed problems with filenames ending in backslashes.
  • Fixed verification problems with localized characters.
  • Added error handling for incorrectly encoded filenames.
  • Automatically use a newly installed version of an external application at the next K3b start.
  • Complete new set of K3b action icons for project types and tools. Many thanks to Marcel Dierkes.
  • Show text on the burn button to make it catch the eye.
  • Support for media:// urls in the Image writing dialogs.
  • Fixed problems with files bigger than 2 GB on some systems.
