No, I was saying that most (CD burning) programs have an awful lot of crap prefs because the developers can't be bothered making a choice, or writing proper detection code that would "do the right thing". The best example is the CD-Writer selection. * What it should be: a drop-down menu with the names of the CD-Burners/CD-Drives, in clear English * What it is: http://www.xcdroast.org/xcdr098/sshot1.html <- I don't care about the scanner on there, neither do I about the disk http://www.abo.fi/~jmunsin/gcombust/shot4.png <- "Worst UI ever" http://gnometoaster.rulez.org/gtprefs.jpg <- bit better, but still far too much information I hope you get my point. I don't want to dumb down/cut down on useful features, I want the software to be easy to use. Cheers -- /Bastien Nocera http://hadess.net
