[nzlug] Gnome working directory

[cr]

Something that's probably so obvious I've missed it...

I want to copy ~3.3 GB of photos (in a directory with 60 sub-dirs in an 
otherwise empty  30GB partition)  to DVD.     I'd like to do it the 'easy' 
way instead of fiddling with XCDRoast.

So, insert blank DVD, "You have inserted a blank disk - what would you like to 
do?" pops up, click on 'Make DVD', CD/DVD Creator window opens, drag 
my 'Photos' folder to the window, click on 'Write to disc' and I get an 
errorbox with the message 
'File Image Creation Failed - 
the selection location does not have enough space to store the disc image 
(2315 MiB needed)'

I presume this means that Gnome/Nautilus's working directory - maybe my home 
directory? - doesn't have enough room.  (That would agree with the numbers 
since I've got 1GB free in /home/cr).    I've got plenty of spare room in 
other partitions.   But I can't find where to change the working directory - 
I've Googled and poked around in /home/cr/.gnome2/...   

If anyone can point me to it I'd be most grateful.
