Question K3B cant continue multisession cd


Hi there!

I use k3b 0.12.3 to write my cd's and dvd's, but recently I bumped into a problem when I needed to continue my multisession cd. Ok here is the story:
1. I downloaded an ISO image of SLAX live-cd;
2. I burned the SLAX ISO image with K3B on CD with multisession option set;
3. I downloaded required additional modules for additional functionality of SLAX;
4. I opened a new project in K3B, imported an existing session, opened the directory /modules, added the required files to the project, and then pressed the burn button. I configured K3B to finalize the session. When I pressed burn the burn dialog shows up and then a message pops up there saying - "No files to be written".
5. Here is the debugging information, provided by K3B:
###############
System
-----------------------
K3b Version: 0.12

KDE Version: 3.3.2
QT Version: 3.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.9

msinfo

msinfo command:
-----------------------
/usr/bin/cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc -msinfo
###############

Duhhh... I allready searched LQ for this problem, but didnt find any solution to K3B multissesion errors. Am I doing something wrong? I allready tried a lot of options with 'simulate' property on. Any comments & suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance!

OK no sweat dudes

I finally found out what the problem was. When importing a session into a project it will not allow to continue any multisession cds. You may import a previous sessions and add files to the desired directory, but berfore burning, you should remove imported sessions, so that only bare file tree to be written is left. Then, when pressing Burn everything goes fine.
So I find 'import session' really confusing and unnecessary, only good for checking the left free space on the media and to view the directory structure.

Thanks to those who red this thread!
I hope this will help to someone. Someday...
