Could it be that /root/.pburnrc misses the value for CHKREC (<checkbox> recursively)

Maybe we could give the same option as for data-burning. 'on-the-fly' or 'use temporary storage'. If you feel comfortable with your testing, could you then send me your code.

I don't really know anything about it myself.
If I understand it correctly, burnfree is the option that all modern burners have had since at least 2001, to somehow prevent buffer underrun errors by stopping and waiting for more data if their buffer is empty.
I think there is no disadvantage to always having it on, but I don't know for sure.
Apparently it doesn't do anything at all if there isn't a buffer under-run, and I think it is just ignored if a burner doesn't support it. But I'm not sure. Maybe someone else knows?

Shorttrack - I have no idea, but I can't imagine wanting a 3 second track Smile

OK, I think I found two real bugs:

1. I burned an audio cd, only to find that it was missing two tracks. I did it again, and noticed that the reason is the tracks had ' characters in them.
e.g. this file was created:
/tmp/pburn_tmp/06_06_Pleasin'_You_Pleases_Me.mp3
But then the log said

Thanks

1. Already fixed 2 days ago. I'm working through the audio functions, and it's all getting better. Wink

2. You are right......Fixed. 'Ckecking media' must be something else.

when blanking a RW disc, there is no possibility to set the drive speed. I set it in File/Preferences, but then the speed seems to be guessed by cdrecord, it doesn't use the speed i set.

my device is an old 32x/8x/4x. cdrecord guesses 4x all right, but actually i always handle RW discs at 2x, not 4x, because it sometimes ruin my discs Smile

anyway, a fix should be possible, because i still blank my discs with cdrecord using the following command line :
cdrecord blank=fast -eject -v speed=2 dev=ATAPI:0,1,0

just now noticed something a bit more serious
The Preferences window doesn't open any longer. And, if i go to the menu Burn/Blank CD/DVD-rw... and that i decide to close the window that just appeared (named Pburn: blank disc) by clicking the cross at the top-right corner, the blanking process starts anyway !

(note, i'm still using Puppy 2.16.1, but i installed pburn-1.4.2 , gtkdialog3-0.7.20 , gtklogviewer-0.1 and pfilesearch-1.1 without errors or warnings - all .pets downloaded from the first post)

here is a kind of log, if it can be useful:
i launch pburn:

I have reorganized the blanking function for Pburn 1.5.0. It now uses the same dialog as normal burn. This gives you the normal 'Device' tab to set speed, and the 'Advanced' tab to manipulate the command. Also your last trouble with cancel process should be solved.

Thank you for reporting bugs. I Hope we'll hear from you if you're not pleased when 1.5.0 becomes available.

That file/preferences bug is the same one I reported, but I thought I must have broken something. There must be something different in older puppies that causes it.

It worked up until a couple of versions ago though. I think it broke with 1.4.0, but I'm not sure.

For Pburn 1.5.0 I have made a new function: repair-all-variables-if-broken. I hope this will solve your trouble. Maybe I ship it next weekend. There are some coding left...
