Question:<br>
<br>
Do you mean that "erase disk" was a context menu option for a *desktop<br>
icon* in GNOME 2?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well, it was a long time since I used Gnome 2, maybe I remember it all wrong. Before installing Ubuntu 12.04 i had Ubuntu 10.10. My wife's computer has Ubuntu 10.04, so I experimented a bit with it and it's not there, so I guess that it was a Ubuntu 10.10 feature OR that I remember it wrong… :(</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway, there is an ”Erase disc…” option if I right click the Cdrom icon in Nautilus (I found out a couple of minutes ago…), standing in the /media folder. Surprisingly that option is also available in Ubuntu 12.04, so no change there, but at least I know that option now… When clicking it, the Erase dialogue of Brasero is opened, which is OK.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Still, it would be nice if I could just right click the CD icon in the launcher and get the same option. Right now there are only two options: ”Open” and ”Eject”. It would be nice if there also was an ”Erase” option when an erasable disk is loaded, and as I said, I'm pretty sure it can be done somehow, but I can't find those instructions any longer…</div>

<br>
Are you right-clicking the *launcher* icon or the *desktop* icon?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>My question is about the launcher icon.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
I would not expect this to work from the launcher, no. But from the<br>
desktop, if it used to before, perhaps yes. The desktop is managed by<br>
Nautilus; the launcher is not.<br>
<br>
If you do not have desktop icons, the easiest way to re-enable them<br>
(that I know of) is to install "Unity Tweak Tool" from the<br>
repositories. Then it is under System|Desktop icons.<br>
<br>
Do this, reboot if necessary, insert a disk and then try<br>
right-clicking on the disk's icon. I don't know if this will do what<br>
you want, but it sounds like it might be closer.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's not what I'm looking for, but of course I can try it.</div><div><br></div><div>Yes, that works, but I would prefer not having more icons on my desktop; I already have too many of them…</div>
<div>But as a workaround it's OK until I find something better. Maybe I should ask my question to the Ubuntu developers. They want Ubuntu to be easy to use without complicating things for the user, don't they?</div>
