[Bug 1523326] Re: K3B (growisofs) too many directories

Hi,

Indeed, xorriso does ISO 9660, not UDF.

Ain't there any way to disable this feature in K3B ?

Two possible remedies by xorriso come to me:
--------------------------------------------------------------

You could let xorriso hop over that failure if you can talk
K3B into running

  xorriso -abort_on fatal -as mkisofs ...K3B.mkisofs.arguments...

You will still see the error message but xorriso will go on
with processing the other arguments.

K3B might complain about the exit value of the xorriso run.
You could force exit 0 (i.e. success indication) by:

  xorriso -abort_on fatal -return_with all 0 -as mkisofs ...

--------------------------------------------------------------

Second alternative is to move the software development adventure
one step further:

- Edit in directory xorriso-1.4.3 the file

    xorriso/emulators.c

  In line 711, change this

       "-no-iso-translate",

  to

       "-no-iso-translate", "-udf",

  The trailing comma is important.
  This will then be the last entry in the list ignored_arg0_options
  which as its name suggests will cause "-udf" to be ignored.
    xorriso : NOTE : -as mkisofs: Ignored option '-udf'

- After editing execute the "make" command to get a new executable
  program xorriso/xorriso

    make

--------------------------------------------------------------

All other options in the "mkisofs calculate size command"
are either supported or ignored by xorriso -as mkisofs.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
