[Bug 47889] Re: Label is write instead of copy

[Loïc d'Anterroches]

Thanks for the kind request for more info.

Here, I am only considering the case where you perform a complete copy
of a CD. That is, you right click on the CD on the desktop and select
"Copy Disc".

Effectively we "write" a CD when performing the "copy" of a CD.

But the "write" is a subprocess of the copy operation. The copy
operation is first composed of a "read" to create the image and the a
"write" on the blank CD. So in fact you click on "Write" to "Read" your
source CD.

The complete operation is the "Copy" of the CD (that is why the title of
the window is by the way "Copy Disc" as shown on the screenshot). So it
is more logical to start the complete operation by a "Copy Disc" or
"Copy" button.

In the case of a creation of a new CD from the burner or directly from
an iso, I completely understand the use of the term "Write" because it
is effectively the complete operation.

I hope I was clear enough, it is really a problem of confusion for the
first user who is not "computer savy".
