[Usability] suggestions for the nautilus cd creator "start" dialog



Hi there.  I'm new to the list, but I'd like to get involved in the
GNOME project (and Usability is my favorite topic).

Anyway, I have two suggestions for the Nautilus CD Creator.  Firstly,
there is a distinct absence of a "Cancel" button.  To cancel, one must
click the close button that the WM provides.  This seems a bit unclean
(and unclear) to me.

Secondly, it would be nice to show the capacity of the media to which
you are recording.  There are several cases: partially full
multi-session CDs, DVDs, non-standard CDs (the new 1000MB ones?), and
it is unclear to the user as to what the program is going to do.  I
put 3 gigs in the folder and expected an error after I clicked start
due to my drive being a DVD drive.  However, everything worked fine. 
Ideally I shouldn't have to guess about this; a used/free indicator
would be nice.

Have a good evening, everyone.
