Fritz,
Some people are just more risk-averse than others. You like your
Powermac, fine for you; you look for the option on the Brasero
sort-of-menu that sort of promises what you want, and ignore all the
others and their dimly-implied possibiities, go ahead. But I'm trying to
concentrate the probably few remaining years of my life on choices with
clearer implications. Had my fun mastering obscure packages and writing
helpyears ago, thank you, and enjoyed it. wasted a lot of time. Not now.
Peace,
Basil
PS Ok, how about this for a Brasero menu:
Gotta image to burn (.iso, directory, etc)? OK!
1. Burn Image to CD/DVD... burn, baby, burn!
Need to make an image first? Oh, OK!
2. Audio project
3. Video project
4. Download from internet
5. Create file with word-processor
6. Download .jpg(s) from smartphone
.
.
Go back to 1 when you're ready for action.
Somewhere in the days of Nero, the terminology became horribly divorced
from normal usage, and instead of "burn" implying an intense heat
(laser-generated, normally, and frenetically melting tiny pits into
specially made plastic media like CDs), it became identified with placidly
organising data into a (temporary?) collection on {magnetic} media prior
to, what else can we decently call it but burning thermally onto
non-magnetic (optical) media. These days with high retrieval speeds from
HDU and SSDs, plus ample RAM buffering, this intermediate step is needed
far less often. Surely we can officially require "burn" to mean "burn" now
and take the lead-up preparation and assembly - if needed - of data for
granted?
Looks like the Brasero-menu author may have thought so too. But who from
the layout of the menu and the strange use of "project" would believe it?
Too risky for me. Given the reassurance from Fritz, maybe I'll try burning
a/1/one CD/DVD with Brasero; but invest time in building up a long-term
stable relationship with it? Why? No, I've got a real project needing some
Forth programming of Bluetooth on Raspberry Pi to spend my time on...
that's less risky.

these could be better headed and grouped as
Basil:
Keep it simple . . . if you have an iso to burn, click on the "Burn
Image" button . . . . It will then, burn the image . . . .
