| GWhere use the disk label only if the corresponding option is checked
| and if the field named "Disk Name" is empty. You can check it with the
| tooltips on the option "use disk label as disk name".

You're right, of course. But (not looking that hard at the tooltip info) i read
this option as an imperative, i.e. "ignore any Name entry and get it from the
disk instead".
So, i guess i'll consider this a conceptual bug: the button text leads me to
believe one thing while the tooltip says something IMHO different.
Anyway, i understand that one now; it won't bite me anymore. 8^)
On a related note, how about changing "disk" on that dialog page to "media" or
some such? I think there's someting of a confusion where "disk" is used both for
the catalog entry and the physical media itself.
Furthermore, as the media can be anything mountable, like USB sticks or Flash
cards, i'd think that "disk" is not that appropriate any more.
