What steps will reproduce the problem?



1.  Start an ISO transfer to the WBFS
2.  The progress GUI completes.
3.   If you close the GUI, the process stays in the background still trying to 
write.  Disconnecting drive will corrupt WBFS

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Progress completion only upon all bytes being written and maybe child process 
termination. Maybe this is hard with cached USB write backs, that you do not 
have control over. 


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.
I have Mandriva 2009.1 64bit (x_86).

Under Ubuntu Linux...using linux-wbfs-manager-0.1.11...I have 500GB hard
drive partitioned into two (/dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2). 250GB is for my Linux
backups (ext4 - sdb1) and the remaining 250GB was formatted and partitioned
to using wbfs-manager (sdb2).

Now, for some reason I can't fully work out, I managed to wipe my partition
table on the hard drive, thus rendering it unmountable. I was trying to
automount my drive with a friendly name (i.e. something like /media/lacie
and NOT an unfriendly name like /media/fdf3-ssdg-33d3 blah blah). 

I set some options in fstab which I think might have contributed to the
issue. But it actually seemed to break when I connected my SD card, which
assumed the same sdb number (i.e. sdb1) and then when I reconnected my hard
drive the partitions table was wiped!

My fstab entry is this, don't know if it will help:

/dev/sdb1    /media/lacie  ext4    rw,exec,auto,user,sync     0        2

There is no dev or suid options - I didn't think they were necessary. I did
not have an entry for the wbfs partition as I would never mount that anyway.

Eventually, I managed to recover the Linux ext4 (/dev/sdb1) partition and
saved all my data from it, but the wbfs partition (/dev/sdb2) was
unrecognized by the partition recovery application I used (testdisk). 

So now I have 250GB of UNALLOCATED SPACE at the end of my drive (should be
/dev/sdb2). I know this is *FULL* of my stuff and I really want to get
access to it. It's very frustrating knowing it is on the drive and not
being able to get to it.

Neither linux-wbfs-manager, not WBFS Manager 3.0 (windows) or the console
itself is able to recognize the partition. :(

So, help me, kind people, help me. How can I recover my wbfs partition?

Thanks.

With the original wbfs tool we can do :

*create a standalone compressed version of one iso using the wbfs mechanism
 ./wbfs create <disc.iso>

but waninkoko says :

=== unimplemented features ===
*copy a wbfs file to your partition
 ./wbfs add file.wbfs

i think it's one of the most important features to add :) :) :)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Let your drive be /dev/anyname and not /dev/sd?? (e.g. with udev rules)
2. Try to choose it in the gtk interface
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I want to choose it in the GUI, but I cannot choose it because it is not
listed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest svn (13.07.09), gentoo

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Try to add a trimmed iso to your wbfs-partition


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Some windows versions add those isos to the wbfs partitions. But the
"linux-wbfs-manager" ends after 100% with "fatal error: can't read disc"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
svn today

Please provide any additional information below.
I found in a forum what "trimmed iso" does mean:
(http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=156793)

A scrubbed ISO and trimmed ISO (in WiiScrubber terms, anyways) are NOT the
same.
Trimming relocates the garbage data to the end of the file and changes it
to 0xff's, maximizing its ability to be compressed. Therefore, trimming
requires the disc to be fakesigned. Scrubbing just changes the garbage data
to 0xff, and does not require fakesigning. 

Could it be possible to add a feature to import a dvd backup? To create an
iso file from /dev/dvd to my computer?

Thanks anyway for your work, I really appreciate.

(I use linux-wbfs-manager on ubuntu jaunty 9.10 on x86_64 - works fine)

Verions: 0.1.7

Description:
Please provide the option to show or not show hidden files in right-hand
directory listing pane. 

Proposed Solution:
1. Option to "Show Hidden Files" placed in a View menu
2. Option to "Show Hidden Files" checkbox when Right-clicking in Directory
Listing pane

Is there a repository for this project (especially for ubuntu)?
I`m bretty scared of installing software from source.

Using Gnome, switching to another workspace and back causes the map_event 
callback to be called.

This callback initiates a new transfer to the wbfs drive.
As such, one can end up with multiple simultaneous transfers of the same 
image, while it appears that the transfer has restarted and progress set 
to zero percent.

Attached is an svn diff which fixes this issue.

Is there a way to translate this awesome project into other languages? I could 
do the finland translation.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download and extract linux-wbfs-manager-0.1.11.tar.gz.
2. Install the dependencies.
3. Run make.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

wbfs_gtk.o: In function `update_fs_list':
wbfs_gtk.c:(.text+0x9fd): undefined reference to `ARRAY_SIZE'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Running Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64 with most up to date software.

Please provide any additional information below.
Not sure why others aren't getting this error.  Either way, simple fix.  
Create a template or just stick in the size of the arrays.

I finally got around fixing a lot of annoying issues, and now want to share.
This is a patch against rev 46.

Here are the changes:

* ISOs now can be sorted by date too. Useful for people that are constantly
acquiring games, and want to find the newest additions to upload to the
WBFS partition.

* Multiple ISOs can be selected to be added at the same time. Unless an
error occur (not enough space, invalid ISO, or game already present) they
will all be added one after another without confirmation. Useful if you
just formated your WBFS partition and need to add all your games back. Just
select them all, click the add button, and leave it alone until it finishes.

* No longer the progress window is required to be mapped for the transfer
to start. I don't know who was the moron who programmed it that way, but
now it is fixed; the transfer starts even if the progress window is hidden.

* Game sizes are more precise (not just in GB units)

* Support for .iso.gz files. That is, you can now gzip all your compressed
isos so they don't take much more space than the actual game size.
Unfortunately it needs a zlib compiled with 64-bit file offsets, and many
32-bit distros don't enable it by default. So it might be a good idea to
include the zlib sources to the repository, and force it to always build
with 64-bit file offsets. Note: .iso.gz files take some time to start
transferring (while the header is read) but after that the speed is pretty
much the same as a plain .iso file.

Extracting .rar files before add them to the drive seem to me a very 
time/space/processor consuming. It would be ideal if I could load directly rar 
files to the drive.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Browse to a directory with an ISO with an upper-case extension.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected to be able to add the file to my drive but the program acts as if
the file does not exist until it is renamed.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Linux WBFS Manager 0.1.9 on Ubuntu 9.04

Please provide any additional information below.
Renaming the file to a lower-case extension fixes the problem.

Allow to select multiple iso to import, export or delete.


Thx for this cool and easy to use app :)

The list of games is ordered by install/copy date..
I would like to sort games by name and filesize..

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to select multiple files (Hold Control + Click or Shift and Click)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Multiple File Selection. It just moves to the last game clicked / selected. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Ubuntu 10.04 x64  0.1.12


Runs great, just would love to have the multiple file support. Copying games I 
had in .iso on FAT32 to wbfs partition proves to be a pain without using 
Windows. If it had the multiple file support this would be a breeze.

Also the add dialog box gets annoying as well. Is it really needed? 

Hi there. I'd like to make the binary version of this package available on
the Ubuntu repositories. I have never created or maintained a package
before, but I would be glad to learn how to do it myself. Do you mind? You
will of course get credit as the original creator.

After having incurred with issue 4 (a copy restarted many times) the copy of an 
ISO ended because there was no more space on device. Now I can't see what I 
copied, but the space is still unavailable and I there's no way to recover it. 
As a proof that there's something hidden, the sum of all ISOs installed is some 
GB less than the space used.
There should be a way to recover lost space without having to reformat 
partition.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

we Can add file if already on wbfs partition.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

need to add check if file already exist ...

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.14


thanks you

I would love to try this out, but I have no I idea what headers are
required to build the source. Please provide more documentation if you want
people to help test this.

Could it be possible to add a feature to export a list of isos currently on
the device (in csv format or any other) like in the windows version of
wbfs-manager ?
It could contain: 
full name of the game, ID, region, size on device, ...etc

It should be usefull in order to manage isos and covers / discs images.

Thanks anyway for your work, really appreciate.
