Not the way I (wearing user's hat) like it.
I cannot make K3b use an unknown version of mkisofs. K3b uses different syntax for different versions of the external programs. And as for the exact path, you can always enter the path to the bin in the search dirs. But anyway: no normal user ever wants to setup mkisofs manually. However, I agree that the error message could be improved. But at the moment I don't know how to solve that with the current code base. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
