What is it? =========== xfce4-cddrive-plugin puts a button in the XFCE panel which allow to open or close a CD-ROM drive tray. Additionally, the button icon reports the content of the drive. The icon indicates if there is a disc in the drive, if it is mounted, and the type of the disc (regular CD-ROM, audio or DVD). You can also mount or unmount the disc via the plugin's menu (the action appears when a disc is in the drive). Requirements & limitations ========================== - This plugin is based on HAL, and will not work if 'hald' is not running. - This release only works correctly with Linux. - The icons used to reports the content of the drive are the one of the theme currently in use (it becomes a limitation if your theme does not provide icons for cdrom drive and disc). - The plugin can query the freedb.org servers for audio CD titles. To compile with this feature enabled, you need libcdio and libcddb. The gthread-2.0 library is also recommanded in this case, but it is not mandatory. Installation ============ The file 'INSTALL' contains generic installation instructions. For more detailed information, visit the CD drive plugin website at http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel-plugins/xfce4-cddrive-plugin How to report bugs? =================== Bugs should be reported to the Xfce bug tracking system (http://bugzilla.xfce.org, product 'Xfce Panel Plugins', Component 'CD drive plugin'). You will need to create an account for yourself.
