1. Einführung
KisoCD ist ein Tool, mit dem man ganz einfach Daten
CDs erstellen kann. Es hilft Ihnen beim Zusammenstellen des
Inhalts Ihrer CD; die Arbeit selbst wird von mkisofs und
das Brennen von cdrecord erledigt.
Der große Vorteil von KisoCD liegt darin, dass
Sie wirklich sehen, was Sie hinterher bekommen (WYSIWYG) (Sie
sehen jede Datei, jedes Verzeichnis und wieviel Speicherplatz sie
benötigen. Alles während Sie per drag&drop die
Dateien/Verzeichnisse einfügen!) und dass Sie Ihre Dateien
frei zusammenstellen können...Nehmen Sie eine Datei von hier
und ein Verzeichnis von dort und stellen Sie sie zusammen wie Sie
es wünschen. Sie müssen die Dateien nicht auf die
Festplatte kopieren um eine anständige CD zu erhalten, und
Sie müssen mkisofs keine Kommandos per Texteingabe
übermitteln...Ich habe das früher gemacht. Es ist
furchtbar wenn man ein Verzeichnis vergessen hat, oder es an der
falschen Stelle abgelegt haben...
Seit 0.4.1 stellt KisoCD eine gute
Funktionalität zur Benutzung in Multi-User-Umgebungen zur
Verfügung.
Die Erstellung von bootfähigen CDs oder
Multisession CDs ist mit KisoCD im Vergleich zu anderen Programmen
sehr einfach.
1.1 Änderungen
Version 0.5.7(09.04.2000):
-
bugfix: Errors occured when filenames included special characters like
apostrophe and braces. Creating directories and renaming files to
names which contain such characters has also been made possible.
-
cdDoc also produces front page for inlay. Thanks to Beate!
-
Multisession: KisoCD no longer stops like there is an error when
cdrecord emitts a warning. Instead one is able to take a look at the
output and decide what to do.
-
Shows umounts message when there are problems.
-
Bugfix or workaround? When using the maximum size that the
kernel-include (constant SHMMAX) gives for the buffer from mkisofs to
cdrecord, there is an error. Jörg Schilling stated that one could actually
only use 4k less than SHMMAX tells...so I do it.
-
Included code which helps reporting errors concerning external calls.
Version 0.5.6(08.03.2000):
-
bugfix: KisoCD didn't compile on some systems; I forgot a pair of brackets...
Version 0.5.5(04.03.2000):
-
bugfix: when updating from an older version, 0.5.4 produced an error
concerning the available speeds and there were none to choose from.
-
Giving the name of the special file of the writer isn't needed
anymore. If it is left blank the scsi-address is used instead. May
need current cdrecord, don't really know...
-
Biggest allowed buffer-size is determined from kernel-sources.
-
Using "~/.kde/share/apps/kisocd/" instead of "~/KisoCD/".
Version 0.5.4(23.02.2000):
-
Complete german docs! Thanks to Martin Kerz!
-
You can set the speed for blanking CDRWs.
-
Added 12x and 16x to list of available speeds. The values appearing in
the list can now easily be set in the configuration file.
Version 0.5.3(26.01.2000):
- Changed layout of
mainwindow, added tooltips.
- kisocd.sh: If
root-login fails, KisoCD is started anyway.
- Now KisoCD handles
closing via window-buttons just like exiting from menu, so you
are asked if you want to save unsaved data, if any.
- KisoCD and its docs
translated to hungarian! Thanks to Köteles Ferenc!
- The latex-file for the
traycard is automatically compiled before viewing/printing if
needed.
- again
changed/translated some messages
- KisoCD now examines
the output of subprocesses a little more and behaves better on
certain errors.
- When writing from
imagefile, the file is no longer automatically deleted after the
"guided" process (file|burn cd).
- cleaned up code, restructured some parts, small
fixes
Version 0.5.2(04.01.2000):
- i18n: prepared
everything for translation, made german translation for program
(help-files still only in english).
- added editline to give
path of imagefile
- "-pad"-option
can now be given to cdrecord. Basic patch send by Wolfgang
Scherer. Thanks!
- changed errormessage
which appears at virtual cd|new dir if one types nothing or just
"/".
- changed message which appears if cdrecord
-scanbus couldn't be executed properly
Version 0.5.1(22.12.1999):
- Bugfix for recognition of cd-writing-devices:
WORM-devices are now recognized, also fixed bug which caused
devices on x,0,0 on the scsi-bus not to be recognized (only
versions of cdrecord older than 1.8a26).
Version 0.5.0(20.12.1999):
- Put "Close"-buttons
on some dialogs which had none before.
- Special file for
reading device can now also be given via editline, for cases
where fileselector doesn't work.
- Removed confusing
messages which appeared when choosing predefined settings for
filesystem options while multisession is activated.
- Made the "process-finished" messages
more user-friendly.
Version 0.5.0pre3(21.11.1999):
- Cleaned up the code,
no important warnings at compilation time anymore.
- Now you can see
cdrecords progress in the subprocess window.
- Enhanced handling of
bootable cds: you don't have to worry about directory-structure
anymore and predection of the cd's size became more accurate.
- Finally KisoCD is able
to make multisession CDs!!!! Its way to do it is similar to the
method used with bootable CDs, so here you don't have to worry
about directory-structure, too.
- Finally fixed errors
with parsing "cdrecord -scanbus". Now it also
recognizes the output of cdrecord 1.8a26 and later. In 0.4.3 I
was wrong to say that the format had changed--before 0.4.3 I only
was able to parse one special case of the "old" format.
However, now both of them should work fine.
- Enhanced handling of
errors.
- Some minor bugfixes.
- Complete rewrite of
the option-dialogs. Now I think they "feel" OK.
- Now a mounted image gets remounted if you changed
and recreated it.
Version 0.4.3(25.08.1999):
- Now you're able to
create new directories on the virtual CD without filling them at
once.
- Made some dialogs
easier to understand, some little details more user-friendly.
- fixed various minor
bugs
- there are less
confusing messages on startup
- writing with 6x- and
8x-speed
- cdrecord changed its "-scanbus" output
format in some version. This caused a wrong detection of your
cd-writer if you had such a new version of cdrecord. KisoCD now
is able to read both formats.
Version 0.4.2(23.08.1999):
- Bugfix: when hitting
the "browse.."-button in "options|more..|image
file" or "options|bootable cd|bootable image" a
segfault could occur. Furthermore its now checked if your choice
makes sense.
- Bugfix: The global
configuration file needed to be writeable for the user, now it is
opened read-only.
- The global
configuration file can now reside in $KDEDIR/share/config/,
/etc/defaults/ or /usr/local/etc/defaults/; put
it where you like.
- Minor enhancement to the menus.
Version 0.4.1(21.08.1999):
- Bugfix: when mounting
and viewing the image, kfm always opened /mnt, even if one used
another mountpoint.
- included quick-start
instructions
- Bugfix: one got a
segfault pressing "cancel" in the fileselectors for the
imagefile and the bootable image.
- added a very simple
"file manager" so you don't need the kfm anymore.
However, it's just a quick hack.
- Added support for
global configuration file by which the super-user can set options
for users and groups of users. Currently all relevant options can
be set to a value which then can't be overridden by the user and
additionally one can hide complete menus or menu entries (for
example because one thinks that they confuse the user, he won't
need them or he mustn't use them).
- possibility to erase
cd-RWs
- enhanced integration
of subprocesses and especially their output
- Of course some changes in the help-files again.
Version 0.4(22.07.1999):
- The path for cdrecord
is looked up and used instead of just calling cdrecord. Changed
as a user had problems with cdrecord not being found.
- Possibility to delete
image-file.
- some minor
improvements
- kover-output
- Now one is able to
change the name of files which are dragged alone (not in a
directory and not in a set of files/directories!).
- Of course some changes
in the help-files again.
- BOOTABLE CDs!!!!!
Version 0.3pre4b(19.05.1999):
- same as 0.3pre4, only
added some logging as some users report segfaults on startup
which I can't explain. Please drop me a note if you have this
too!
- Last-minute-bugfix: segfault when saving file
without having added any files or directories.
Version 0.3pre4(14.05.1999):
- bugfix: image was
deleted when running test image
- "test image"
renamed to "simulate image creation"
- the old "test image" had a problem with
reading very long lines from mkisofs's output--problem not really
fixed, but should be OK now
Version 0.3pre3(19.04.1999):
- eliminated need for
qtcompat
- changed the makefiles;
kisocd.sh should now be placed in the right directory on all
systems
- fileselector for
imagefile enhanced
- bugfix: it was
possible to select a nonexistent device
- now one can drop
several files/dirs at once
- you can mount an image
and view it very easily
- some little things more....
Version 0.3pre2(27.03.1999):
- minor improvements in
user interface
- improved the help
- added "cdDoc|create
from current view"
- bugfix: ofstream.close() was not automatically
called, led to problems when saving the options (not on all
systems!)
Version 0.3pre1(14.03.1999):
- "File|Create
Image", "File|Burn CD now!" and the
"cdDoc"-commands now run separately from KisoCD
- partially finished,
disabled: Multisession support
- When starting KisoCD you get a window to log in
as root so that all functions of KisoCD can be accessed.
Version 0.2.2(13.03.1999):
- fixed a bug in the previous versions
(segmentation fault when opening the options-dialog, did not have
to occur everytime due to possible delays in Qt's signal-slot
mechanism)
Version 0.2.1(12.03.1999):
- Treelist does not collapse after adding
files/directories (so you see changes at once)
Version 0.2 (10.03.1999):
- uses KFileDialog
instead of QFileDialog
- eliminated an error at
compile time
- stores every file with ending ".cd"
first official version (08.03.1999) was stupidly
called 0.10
1.2 Bekannte Probleme
- Für bekannte
Probleme konsultieren Sie bitte meine Homepage...
- Wenn Sie "symbolische Links verfolgen" aktivieren
und eine Rekursion erhalten, wird KisoCD das nicht erkennen (das
Programm wird hängenbleiben, mit einem Fehler beenden oder
etwas ähnliches). Dieser Fehler wird eines Tages, wenn ich
nach Dateien und Verzeichnissen, die mehrfach vorkommen suche,
behoben werden.
