[Bug 259778] [NEW] K3B doesn't handle an error returned by genisoimage

[Alex Magaz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: k3b

genisoimage fails if a file is deleted while it's creating the image.
The problem is that K3B doesn't recognize the error, giving the message
"mkisofs returned an unknown error (code 2)" (screenshot attached).

Steps to reproduce:

   1. Run K3B and select "New data project"
   2. Add some files to the project
   3. Click on Burn.
   4. Select "Only create image" option.
   5. Click Start.
   6. Then, when the progress bar starts filling, delete some of the files added to the project. 

If the file is deleted before it's added to the image, genisoimage
fails.

I've attached a patch to make K3B recognize the error and give a more
useful message (maybe it should be improved). I've also attached a
screenshot of K3B giving the error message with the patch applied.

I'm using:

Ubuntu 8.04.1
k3b 1.0.4-2ubuntu4
libk3b2 1.0.4-2ubuntu4
genisoimage 9:1.1.6-1ubuntu6
