What's new in this version:

- All the previous functionalities are available, in a more robust and hopefully user-friendly version.
- A major new feature has been implemented in this release: automatic split and burn of data folders bigger than the size of the media inserted, as requested by many users.
- I hope you will like it, as we tried to put as much coolness as possible in the application. Please think about giving if you like and use the software, it simple, efficient, environmentally green and brings good karma!

iMac Intel under system 10.4.11. When I double-click Firestarter it immediately crashes.
I have used Firestarter FX many times successfully to create or burn iso images and am generally very pleased by its performance and usability. Today however, I managed to spoil a CD-R - for the first time (ever) with this application:
I was attempting to burn a 349 MiB iso image. When Firestarter FX reported the failure, the debug log said
... Track 01: 192 of 348 MB written (fifo 100%) [buf 99%] 10.0x. 2009-10-08 15:17:55.383 FireStarter[623] /Applications/[...]/cdrecord: Result too large. read error on input file 2009-10-08 15:18:04.948 FireStarter[623] Writing time: 156.141s 2009-10-08 15:18:04.963 FireStarter[623] /Applications/[...]/cdrecord: fifo had 6145 puts and 6145 gets. 2009-10-08 15:18:04.963 FireStarter[623] /Applications/[...]/cdrecord: fifo was 0 times empty and 5513 times full, min fill was 97%.So, cdrecord had troubles reading the source file? I tried with another CD-R, and this time, burning stopped the moment it started, right after the countdown in the log, again complaining "Result too large". DiskUtility also failed to burn the image, so I "converted" it to cdr, and even though the resulting file turned out to be a mere copy (same sha256 checksum), it then passed the burning process without further problems.
I have no clue as to what was the culprit here.
Regardless, the advertised "simulate" option might have prevented the first CD-R from being wasted. For some reason, that checkbox is greyed out though. How is it supposed to be used?
