xfburn 0.4.0 (i could not see it as a option in the version list) crashes when the user clicks "burn compilation" if said compilation contains a dir created using the "create directory" button. running xfburn from terminal gives me this: ** ERROR **: Failed adding (null) as a node to the image: null pointer! aborting...
Thanks for the report, I can confirm the issue. Should be an easy fix which I'll hope to include in the next couple of days in svn. Burning empty directories is just something that never came to my mind! ;-)
well it happens if the dir has content also. its just that to figure out where the problem was i ended up just adding a dir using xfburn and hit burn compilation. before i did that i was unsure if xfburn choked on one of my files or similar. so basically, if the compilation contains a dir that do not already exist on the FS yours burning from, xfburn crashes. i ended up working around it for my burn by splitting the files into dirs on the partition itself, and burning from that.
I didn't check, but my guess is this bug got introduced when xfburn learned how to handle special files. But it is fixed in rev. 6734 now. Note that new directories in the root of the image get root:root owner and 0666 permissions. I could force the uid/gid to the current users', but I'm not sure that's better. For most users it should not matter, so I'm leaving it as root:root for now.
