Thunar CD Burning Plugin

October 23, 2006 · Posted in Mike's Blog 

One thing I miss in Windows is the ability to burn data CDs by dragging files to the CDROM icon.  This is something that is missing in most Linux file managers.  So far, the only ones I’ve seen that have this feature is Nautilus if you have the proper plugin and Xandros’ version of Konqueror.  Other than that, I haven’t seen any other Linux GUI file managers that support such a feature.

Currently, I’m using XFCE since it’s lightweight and supports most of the desktop features that I need.  Now that XFCE is using Thunar as it’s file manager, XFCE just got better but I think it would be best if a cd-burning plugin would be written for Thunar.  One that supports burrning of multi-session data CDs.

Well, until then, I will need to use Gnomebaker and / or K3B
