I have just been trying to use k3B to write an ISO image and I really, really can't understand how to do it.
E.g. I click on "Tools - Burn DVD ISO Image" and it immediately starts writing, I'm not given the chance to specify what ISO I want to write or anything like that.
How do I simply tell it to burn an ISO image of a file I specify?

That should give you a dialoge where you can choose ISO file and it will give you info about the iso file.

What version of K3b?

What happens is that it loads the first ISO file I ever wrote to a DVD and does an MD5 sum on it. Then I have just the 'Start' and 'Close' buttons.
I did eventually realise that I could enter a new file in the 'Image to Burn' field and it will work on that one.
It's a bit of a wierd/misleading interface though, why doesn't the 'Image to Burn' field get cleared ever?

It's 0.12.17

It wont start burning the DVD until you press the start button. Unless of course you have a broken version that someone's been tampering with the source.

And of course you're using a really old version of K3b.... K3b 1.0 has been out for ages. You really should upgrade *now*.
1.0.3 has been released on 23.07.2007, there have been significant improvements since 0.12.17

I think there was a reason why I didn't go with the latest version, some library dependency that I could upgrade to or something like that.
Anyway I'm going to try Fedora 7 soon and that should have a pretty new version of k3B available I think.

Are you sure it's starting to write and not just calculating the MD5 sum of what it thinks is the image?
I find that it does that first but doesn't start writing until the 'Start' button is clicked. The image to burn is shown in the box at top left and clicking the button with the image of a folder on it enables that to be changed. If it is changed then it automatically starts the MD5 sum calculation again.

Yes, you're right, I eventually realised that. I still think it's a very odd user interface though.
