Stops working with big folders

2009-10-04T11:27:00Z

I have a Folder with some other folders that sums up to 200 Gb, and I have a new Bluray Recorder and a bunch of 24 Gb discs. When I put BTTB to work, it fills half disc and stop. No crash, simply stop as it was done. If I move the biggest folder and left the others, BTTB works well. It´s fully repeatable, and If I go adding folders in some point It stops working. Sometimes I can fill 2 bluray, but no more. FYI the folder I am trying to save has 29000 files and 1038 folders with a total of 223.597.010.077 bytes

Ver. 2.9.0 display at large fonts (DPI) settings

2007-12-12T15:33:48Z

Please see bug report #606903 and attached screen captures. BTTB Ver. 2.9.0 window crops off interface elements at "large size" (120 DPI) and "custom" (> 120 DPI) font settings under WinXP SP2. I don't now what it is about designing GUIs under Windoze, but I have seen this problem in several software packages.

What is even more bizarre is that once the BTTB window has been maximized, BTTB subsequently opens in a "Normal Window" with mazimized dimensions.

Missing a file when calculating the directory

2006-12-02T13:32:58Z

I have a directory that has 5 folders and each folder has 126 subfolders where the files are

When I calculate the directory structure using BTTB it reports 29,061 files. When I select all the folders then do a properties it shows 29,062 from windows.

I'm not sure there it is losing a file

CPU Usage on BTTB at > 90%

CPU usage goes to above 90% when the start button is
pressed.

Creating ISOs does not handle running out of disk space

2005-08-15T01:19:51Z

When creating ISOs, should pause before creating next
ISO if there is not enough disk space. Currently it
keeps going until there is "O bytes" free on the drive,
then continues processing, and then gives a message
like "Creation of ISOs completed" (which is incorrect,
because not all ISOs were created correctly).

For example, when using BTTB V2.9.0, with enough data
to fill 11 DVD ISOs but only 5Gb of disk space, BTTB
gives a success message, but a listing of the ISO
directory shows that creating the ISOs did not succeed:
================================================================
P:\bttb-isos>dir
Volume in drive P is 40 Gb WD fixed
Volume Serial Number is 5AB1-E591

Directory of P:\bttb-isos

14/08/2005 07:41p <DIR> .
14/08/2005 07:41p <DIR> ..
14/08/2005 07:40p 4,700,166,144 Disk1.iso
14/08/2005 07:42p 367,730,688 Disk2.iso
2 File(s) 5,067,896,832 bytes
2 Dir(s) 0 bytes free

P:\bttb-isos>

So this is both a bug, and also a feature request.
* The bug is no error or notification or mechanism for
handling running out of disk space when creating ISOs.
* The feature request is to pause before creating the
next ISO if there is not enough disk space to create
it. (e.g. pop up a dialog saying "There is not enough
disk space to create the next ISO ('Disk2.iso'). Please
free 4,332,435,456 bytes of disk space and then press
'OK', or press 'Cancel' to abort the creation of
further ISOs. Note that you can also burn any already
created ISOs and then delete them in order to free up
disk space before continuing. [insert 'OK' and 'Cancel'
buttons]". (Pressing 'OK' would redo the disk space
check, and show the dialog again if there still wasn't
enough disk space). This would both solve the bug, and
allow users to burn the previous ISO, then delete it,
then allow the next one to be created, and so forth.
(i.e. this would allow bttb to operate in sequential
mode, rather than in batch mode). For example, in the
above scenario, BTTB doesn't need 48 Gb of disk space -
rather it needs 4.5 Gb of disk space and to reuse it 11
times, or 9 Gb of disk space and to reuse it 6 times,
or 18 Gb of disk space and to reuse it 3 times.

Change Text from 'Welcome, press F1 to get started'

2004-11-18T01:15:51Z

Change Text from 'Welcome, press F1 to get started' to something more specific and less misleading.

('to get started' implies starting a process or Wizard'. All the F1 button does is display the help files. Ironically, there is nothing on-screem labelled 'Help' for users actively seeking help files.)

suggested text:
'Get started - Press F1 to read Help'

Drop-down menu or GUI Button to access Help

2004-11-18T01:08:22Z

Currently there is an unfriendly message which exhorts users to RTFM.

But there is no CUA access to Help.

(The RTFM is also, due to reading gravity, the last item on (a quite busy) screen that anyone will read.)

If they /really/ need to RTFM, then getting access to TFM should be easy, and they should be told to RTFM /before/ they see other aspects of the UI.

And the UI should be redisigned to make R-ing TFM less vital. Which is easier said than done :-)

No DVD in supplied 'Medium' list

2004-11-18T00:52:52Z

Surely it would be most sensible to have all standard media already added to the drop-down list at installation?

Currently the drop-down only has 74 and 80 minute CDs.

Why not have 120MB floppies, Zip discs, DVD 4.7 and DVD 9.4 listed as well?

If you want to avoid cluttering the drop-down, DVD 4.7 should be there as a minimum.
