ANN: Burn.app 0.4.0

[Andreas Heppel]

Hi folks,
it has taken a long time and some of you have already considered this project 
to be dead. This is not the case, I simpy did not have enough time to complete 
things.


What is Burn?
-------------
Well, Burn is a front-end for the cdrtools and cdrdao to burn CDs.


What's new in Burn?
-------------------
The most significant changes are again in the UI. Due to user requests I have 
abandoned the single file interface and returned to the multiple file/window 
interface again. The controls to set up the burn parameters are no longer 
located in the main window, but are set in a separate panel immediately before 
burning. After experimenting a lot, I found that this is the best solution, in 
particular as the settings are remembered and the user may decide to not open 
this dialog box, but use the saved settings instead.
The burning process is no longer modal, i.e. all operations that do not 
involve a burner are accessible while burning. This may be helpful if you want 
to create a new compilation while burning, for example.
Drag-and-Drop has changed significantly wrt to dragging directories into a 
compilation. Burn.app now knows three modi how to insert the contents of a 
directory into the compilation, depending on modifier keys used during 
dragging.
You will also find a new service by which you can burn an already existing ISO 
image immediately.
There exists now a so-called audio CD inspector giving information about the 
source audio CDs involved in a compilation.
Burn now also offers an improved on-line help using Nicols Roard's HelpViewer.
For more news see the change log.

Where to get Burn?
------------------
As always here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61565&release_id=186888

Don't forget to download CDPlayer 0.4.0 as you will need it. Also remember 
that you need Enrico's GWorkspace.

Please, do not hesitate to give any kind of feedback, be it bug reports, 
feature requests, patches,....


Cheers,
Andreas
