[Bug 276617] [NEW] Choosing image to burn (Data CD) - Multiple errors/bugs

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Portable-Jim (christian-chess-geek):

Binary package hint: cdcontrol

The cdcontrol package has a number of flaws in the implementation of the menu for choosing an image to burn when trying to burn a data CD. This causes several errors:
- In a directory with an uneven number of files listed, the program errors out with "Canceled by user"
- Files with spaces are interpreted as two files
- Files are in two columns (the tag of dialog --menu) and so are unselectable
- All files are listed and are able to selected (not just .iso/image files)

Information:
----------------------
OS:
     Description:	Ubuntu 8.04.1
     Release:      	8.04
cdcontrol:
Package: cdcontrol
State: installed
Automatically installed: yes
Version: 1.90-1.1
Priority: extra
Section: universe/utils
Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu at lists.ubuntu.com>
Uncompressed Size: 197k
Depends: bash (>= 2.0), cdrecord (>= 1.9.1-1), dialog (>= 0.9), bc, dc, cdda2wav, procmail

Proposed fix
-------------------
My fix / patch would fix the bugs listed above, and it would make the menu show the file size next to the file name (showing only iso files)

The attached file is the only file needing to be changed. Simply copy
the file to overwrite /var/lib/cdcontrol/memory-cd
