Season of KDE 2006

K3b lite

A Season of KDE 2006 project by Dusan Stefanovic
Mentored by Sebastian Trueg

Project Details

I would like to write an application, for burning CD/DVD that will be easy to use by ordinary people. Application will be based on the K3b libraries, and will be in wizard-like style.

Benefits

K3b lite will enable to less experienced users to be able to use full potential of K3b.

Deliverables

  • Fully documented source code of K3b lite inside of K3b source tree
  • User documentation for K3b lite

Project Details

K3b and K3b lite will share settings like CD maximum speed...
From technical point of view, K3b lite will use functions from K3b for burning discs. Idea is to implement application as a series of dialogs (wizards) with lot of explanations and hints, which will guide user through the process of disc burning. On the location: http://alas.matf.bg.ac.yu/~mr97118/K3b_lite.html you can see how I have imagined those dialogs. This is just a draft, and changes are possible.

As you can see, idea is to reduce number of options in every step, and thereby avoid possibility of confusing the user.
