[Bug 82323] Re: [KDE 3.5.6] k3b wants "+-DVDs" ... and rejects "+DVDs"

[Hugh Parker]

I am also getting this problem with DVD+Rs.  k3b brings up a dialog
saying "Found media: DVD+R (empty).  Please insert an empty or
appendable DVD±R into drive _NEC DVD_RW ND-3550A (/dev/hdc)".  I notice
that both I Sputnik have NEC drives.

It works fine when I click "force", but that then mutes other errors
such as a lack of disk space causing the last 10% of every disk I've
written for weeks to be blank :(

Occasionally it works fine without the erroneous dialogue box for no
apparent reason.  I've had the same stack of 100 DVD+Rs on the go for
ages.

I'm using normal Edgy (not Kubuntu), and k3b reports that I'm on K
version 3.5.5.

I've attached a capture of the dialogue box, in case that's useful.

** Attachment added: "captured image of erroneous dialogue box"
