Download K3b 0.12.8

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 0.12.8 is now available with the following changes since the previous entry in the muck tracker:

Version 0.12.8:

• Load index0 value into audio project.
• Ignore case in cue files.
• The “eject media” setting was not used properly in some situations (thanks to simon for the patch).
• Fixed a bug in the mp3 decoder which caused it to miss some perfectly valid mp3 files (Finally! ;).

Version 0.12.7:

• Fixed crash when refreshing the device list.
• Fixed cancellation of adding files to a data project.
• Fixed on the fly data project burning.
• Backported a warning about following links to folders (K3b cannot do that after the link has been added to the project).

Version 0.12.6:

• Copy XA Form1 tracks always in TAO writing mode (DAO produces unreadable CDs on some writers, on others it simply fails).
• Support for media:/ urls (thanks to the amaroK guys for the code snippet which I “borrowed” from their source).
• No extra whitespace when renaming audio files in a data project anymore (KFileMetaData seems to be buggy there).
• Fixed verification of multisession CDs (thanks to simon for the patch).
• Preserve directory access time in data projects when using the “backup” option (this should complete the process started in 0.12.5).
• Disable the “audio normalization” option in case the normalize program is not installed.

Version 0.12.5:

• Fixed the progress bar in the file view.
• It is possible to add the “New Data DVD Project” button to the welcome window again.
• Fixed problems with unreadable items when using a non-standard color scheme.
• Properly set the permissions on cdrecord versions >= 2.01.01a02.
• Fixed the “Disabled start button in Copy dialog” bug.
• Little window layout fix in K3bSetup2.
• Always use sector size 2048 when only creating an image in CD Copy. This means extracted iso images from CDs with non-Mode1 tracks are useable again.
• Preserve directory permissions and user/group id in data projects when using the “backup” option.
