Automate CD burning

Hi, I am trying to automate cd burning from k3b. I am using dcop to control k3b from the command line. I realize that there are functions available to dcop to burn the cd and the create new project. However, I have a problem adding files to the project.. After calling
dcop `dcop k3b-id K3b action project_add_files` activate, a new window (that is used to choose the file to be added) pops up. My question is, how can I use dcop to communicate with this new window? Or probablly there is a way to add file to project directly with a function available to dcop. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

If you want to burn from commandline you could use the commandline programs directly instead of going through a frontend like K3B.

I think mkisofs creates the CD image and cdrecord burns it to disk.
This can be done in one call as well, there are docs for that all over the Internet.

Thanks for the reply. However, the concern here is to test whether the cd burning program (k3b) works. Thats why I need to burn from there. Anybody has an idea how to do that? Thanks in advance.

Ah, I see.
I guess you will have to ask the K3B developers by email.
