Here's SimpleBurn, a great replacement for Pburn, with three major advantages:
- It is smaller than Pburn, about half the size. Smile

- It's a compiled application, not a script. This makes it way faster.
- It includes ripping functionality similar to that of Asunder.

The package was built on Slacko 5.3.1, but not tested, since I don't have an optical drive. It should utilize cdrkit (various command-line tools) for burning, pretty much like Pburn, so it should work right away.

Have fun! Very Happy

Hi,

Having trouble with my cd burner.

However, i've noticed a couple of things using puppy 5.28

1) Menu option doesn't work,

simpleburn is stored in opt/bin and requires the command
/opt/bin/simpleburn

not just simple burn.

2) A minor bug in the 'about box'- if closing with 'close button' box can be re-opened, however if the 'about box' is closed with the window close tool the 'about box' will not re-open.

3) I don't think simpleburn recognises my drive properly as it says 'no disc' when I try to burn

BTW what does NLS stand for?

Hi darkcity,

NLS = National Language Support

I installed it in Racy Puppy 5.2.1.90 multisession DVD. It shows up in Menu -> Multimedia but nothing happens when I click it. Do I need to reboot before it will work?

It was built on 5.3.1 and I mentioned this for a reason.

You can run it manually from /opt/bin/simpleburn but I cannot guarantee it will work on anything < 5.3.

Same problem as Flash here, but in Slacko 5.3. Shows up in the menu, but doesn't start up.

It can be started from /opt/bin/simpleburn, but then it doesn't 'see' the usb-dvd-writer.

I tried the slackware version from the SimpleBurn website. It is also unable to detect the dvd-writer.

Perfect reason to finally upgrade to 5.3.1 later today Wink

I compiled this in Fatdog64-521 and will post a package here as well. You can use Iguleder's NLS pet if you need that installed. Nice work finding this Iguldeder! It's always nice finding small gtk apps. I also uploaded another dotpet incase you want to use libburnia instead of cdrtools as the backend. You'll need cdrskin/xorriso/cdrdao installed if you want to use libburnia.

This is smaller, but, has much less functionality. But, for a limited subset use, I can see whom it might fit.

Hope this helps
