Hi lucky13!

No it's not what you presume. Read again!

Have fun with this incredible distro,

Three pages into the thread and you haven't named one significant difference between the version of k3b in MyDSL and -current. Except "Furthermore K3B is now available in a higher version." So it has a different version number. Woohoo.

Since I do read (quite well), it's nice to see that there isn't an issue between that extension and k3b after all: "I've tried out starting K3B some times now. It works just fine with gtk+-2.10.9 up and running." Imagine that.

Back to the issue of updating k3b. You also wrote earlier: "if someone will make a new extension I can't se any reason to use the source code of an old version of K3B."

I can think of several reasons why someone would, especially given the size of qt. Such as the relationship between increase in size between versions and -- PLEASE pay attention to what *I* write here -- the number and/or quality of feature differences between versions. It helps to know if there's more of an advantage to making an upgrade if you know what's been changed beyond the version number. But that's not important enough for you to answer, is it, just keep pointing me to the non-issue of GTK2.

I asked out of curiosity because I was going to offer to do it and separate things so other K applications could be compiled into UCIs. Now I'll go watch tv instead. Beggars, choosers, and that kind of stuff. Maybe you'll learn to do it yourself. Or learn not to bite the hands feeding you.

Adios.

Hi again lucky13!

I can see that you finally have read more careful but you still haven't got it all, and I didn't know that a person has to have a specific reason to be able to use the newest software. I just like it, and what I can do I do myself, and if not I put out a post about it. But there is no need to be ruud in my opinion. But as I said before, you can choose what you want in this respect. There is a proverb (I think it comes from Israel but I'm not sure) that I think fits the beginning of your posts in this thread, and it says, freely translated to english: "The one who talks (or writes) before he has heard (or read carefully) for him it is a shame."

Have fun out there all you DSL fans,
meo

Listen, I did read what you wrote and very clearly. It isn't my fault you presumed that there was a connection between one extension working and another. I INTENTIONALLY LEFT THAT OUT OF THIS THREAD AND ASKED -- OUT OF CURIOSITY -- WHAT THE LATEST VERSION OF K3B HAS THAT THE ONE IN MYDSL DOESN'T AND YOU HAVE WHIFFED EVERY OPPORTUNITY AT ANSWERING IT.

The only thing I was interested in is whether there was a very compelling reason other than version number to upgrade an application with a compressed size already the same size as DSL's ISO. Now your pressing reason is "to be able to use the newest software."

BTW, that saying definitely suits you. You have a lot of nerve calling me rude after suggesting I was presuming or not reading when I limited my questions to the one about features in k3b. That's especially germane now that we know it wasn't what you suggested -- that k3b works even with gtk2 loaded. Time waster.

At the risk of getting my head bitten off:

There are other reasons than features for seeking a later version of an app. iirc the k3b extension is rather old.

It would be reasonable to expect some development had occured in the intervening years.

However I believe k3b is just a front end for growisofs as far as dvd burning goes - same goes for tkDVD. So if what you want is better (however that is defined) dvd burning, you probably want a better growisofs.

Meo: would a recent growisofs extension meet your needs ie are you content burning from the command line? If so, that is doable I imagine.

Admittedly k3b is a nice gui.
