Installation

Pip

shell pip install gendisc

Usage

```plain Usage: gendisc [OPTIONS] PATH

Make a file listing filling up discs.

Options: --cross-fs Allow crossing file systems. -D, --drive FILE Drive path. -d, --debug Enable debug logging. -i, --starting-index INDEX Index to start with (defaults to 1). [x>=1] -o, --output-dir DIRECTORY Output directory. Will be created if it does not exist. -p, --prefix TEXT Prefix for volume ID and files. -r, --delete Unlink instead of sending to trash. --no-labels Do not create labels. --cd-write-speed INTEGER CD-R write speed. --dvd-write-speed INTEGER DVD-R write speed. --dvd-dl-write-speed FLOAT DVD-R DL write speed. --bd-write-speed INTEGER BD-R write speed. --bd-dl-write-speed INTEGER BD-R DL write speed. --bd-tl-write-speed INTEGER BD-R TL write speed. --bd-xl-write-speed INTEGER BD-R XL write speed. --preparer TEXT Preparer string (128 characters). --publisher TEXT Publisher string (128 characters). -h, --help Show this message and exit. ```

The output is a series of shell scripts (1 for each disc) that do the following:

  • Generate the ISO image with mkisofs for the current set.
  • Save a SHA256 sum of the image for verification.
  • Save a tree listing for later use (tree must be installed).
  • Save a file listing via find for later use.
  • Requests to insert a blank disc.
  • Uses cdrecord to burn.
  • Ejects and re-inserts the disc.
  • Verifies the disc.
  • Deletes the source files or sends them to the bin.
  • Ejects the disc.
  • Requests to move the disc to a label printer.
  • If you have GIMP installed, open it to the printer dialogue.

If you have mogrify (ImageMagick) and Inkscape installed, a label will be generated. This can be then opened in a tool that can have your printer (such as an Epson XP-7100) print to disc (GIMP). The image should be ready for printing (under Image Settings you should see it is exactly 12 cm at DPI 600).

Many of the steps above can be skipped by passing flags to the script. Currently the script supports these options:

plain Usage: script.sh [-h] [-G] [-K] [-k] [-O] [-P] [-s] [-S] [-V] All flags default to no. -h: Show this help message. -G: Do not open GIMP on completion (if label file exists). -K: Keep ISO image after burning. -O: Only create ISO image. -P: Open GIMP in normal mode instead of batch mode. -S: Skip ejecting tray for blank disc (assume already inserted). -V: Skip verification of burnt disc. -k: Keep source files after burning. -s: Skip clean-up of .directory files.
