| Summary | 0002204: Burn same CD Again (tweaks) | ||||
| Description | On some occasions, users want to burn the same CD more than once, however, the current implementation of burning requires that the user reconfigure the CD contents from scratch. It would be nice if MM allowed users to burn the same CD again after a successful or failed burn (I don't believe that it's necessary to 'save' a CD configuration because in most cases we can use a playlist for that). | ||||

According to my current implementation there should not be any problem to easy implement it by adding "Burning wa succesfull, Do you want to burn same disc again?" [Yes][No] or "Burning was succesfull." [Ok] [Re-burn this disc] Btw. Described in 0002072 I have added possibility of re-burn failed disc, because this is very useful in case of multiple burning when one of the burnt discs has failed. Current dialog says: "Burning was not successful: Could not write the image layout to the disk. Re-burn this disc?" [Yes][No] |

Assigned to Rusty for suggestion of GUI. |

Suggested text: Burn completed successfully. Do you want to burn another copy? Note: 'Burn completed successfully' string already exists, so we can re-use it. --- Re. the second string: "Burning was not successful: Could not write the image layout to the disk. Re-burn this disc?" [Yes][No] --> "Burn did not complete successfully: Could not write the image layout to the disk. Try again?" [Yes][No] |
|

I don't think that text suggested in last note is completely right, cause in case of multiple burning once one of disc fails, user will want probably burn again only this individual disc. So I would suggest to leave: "Re-burn this disc?" i.e. "Burn did not complete successfully: Could not write the image layout to the disk. Re-burn this disc?" [Yes][No] ------------------------ Also "Burn completed successfully. Do you want to burn another copy?" is not suggested completely right, cause in case of multiple burning we do not want message "Burn completed successfully" after each of individual discs. SO I would suggest something like "Disc burning finished successfuly. Do you wish to burn another copy of this disc?" |
|
|
Implemented in revision 1305. |
|
|
Another thing is that "Disc burning finished successfuly. Do you wish to burn another copy of this disc?" [Yes][No] is quite bothering when it appears after finish of each disc, I would suggest to add [] Show prompt for Re-burn disc after successful burn checkbox to Burn Settings page or something like this. |
|
|
Implemented re-burn of a same CD also for audio burning in revision 1976. |
|
|
This functionality is working correctly, however, there are a few minor problems that should be corrected: 1) Text improvement & don't show again function (as suggested by Ludek): Disc burning finished successfuly.Do you wish to burn another copy of this disc? --> Burn of disc X completely successfully. Do you want to burn another copy? [ ] Don't offer to burn other copies again 2) Duplicate messages appear. i.e. both of the following messages appear: "Disc burning finished successfuly.Do you wish to burn another copy of this disc?" "Burn completely successfully" The second informational dialog isn't required if the first message is presented. |

|
As I wrote: "I would suggest to add [] Show prompt for Re-burn disc after successful burn checkbox to Burn Settings page or something like this." rather than your last suggestion, because users losts the opportunity to re-enable this. Are you agree that my suggestion to add the checkbox to "Burn settings" page of the burning wizard is a better choice? |

Per discussion, since the Burning was successful confirmation dialog always appears after a successful burn, and since the option to burn another copy is just a portion of that dialog, there's no need to disable the dialog _ever_. With that in mind, a possible approach would be: Successful burn (single or final disk): Disc X (copy y) burned successfully. [Burn another copy] [[OK]] Successful burn (more disks in the queue): Disc X (copy y) burned successfully. [[Burn disc x+1]] [Burn another copy] [Cancel] Failed burn: "Disc X (copy y) burn failed: [explanation]!" [[Re-burn disc]] [Cancel] |

According to the last proposal has been done in build 1028. |
|

Verified build 1028: -Single disk, one copy -Single disk, multiple copies -Multiple disks (spanning) single copy -Multiple disks (spanning) multiple copies of disk 1 -Error scenario: Did not test There are two remaining problems in the workflow: 3) Multiple disks (spanning) disk 2: After the first disk is burned, the user is presented with a dialog that tells them that the burn was successful, and gives them the option of burning another copy, or burning disk 2. When the user chooses to burn disk 2, the following appears: "Burn Completed successfully. Please insert another CD/DVD to burn remaining tracks. [Cancel]" This is confusing, since the user was already told that the disc had burned successfully. What should have appeared is: "Please insert a disc to be burned... [Cancel]" 4) This issue isn't critical at all, but is worth mentioning: Whenever the user burns > 1 disk (i.e. due to disk spanning or burning another copy), MediaMonkey pops up the following message if the user has initiated the second burn and there's no disc inserted: "Please insert a disc to be burned... [Cancel]" The problem is that MediaMonkey also shows this dialog even if the user inserted a new disk prior to initiating the subsequent burn. I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done, given that the user may have elected to auto-eject or not auto-eject the CD after a burn. If you have any ideas, please share. |

3) has been fixed in build 1030. 4) I see what you mean, I think that current behaviour is quite ok, because it is a way how to ensure that CD inserted in the drive is the CD which user wants to burn as a copy or a next disc. If you don't like this we could either 1. eliminate the choice to not eject disc after burn then it will be always ejected and we will supose that user has replaced the disc before clicking [Burn another copy] 2. Lock the drive until user click a button on the dialog. But I guess that the current behaviour is the most safer, because a user can hardly accidentaly rewrite Disc1 by Disc2. |
