Bug ID: 383211
Summary: Blu-ray media sizes in fill widget are incorrect
Product: k3b
Version: 17.04.3
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Data Project

patch to correct BD capacity for 25 and 50 "GB" discs
When adding files to a data project without a blank disc in the drive, k3b will
use the built-in capacities for Blu-ray media. However, these are wrong. k3b
thinks that blu-ray media is 25 or 50 GB ("GiB"), but it is actually only
slightly more than 25/50 "salesman GB", a little less than 23.3 "real" GB.
This means that the capacity gauge cannot be used precisely when making data
projects, and one must resort to shell tools, or one's favorite pocket
calculator.
I think this bug is at least a couple of years old; I am surprised that it is
still around, and that no one has reported it. The fix is very simple, and I
have attached a patch. In fact, one can see from the adjacent code comment
that the author knows the values are wrong.
