Bic Updated

Bic has been updated. The ––size option is a bit smarter (notices changes to the folder even while calculating sums, and will ignore write-open files until they’re closed). Also, a ––sizeonly option has been added which just monitors the size without calculating any sums.

A ––burn option has been added to auto-detect the media type.

A ––dvddl option has been added for burning to DVD Dual Layer discs. This is the same as a normal DVD burn except that it allows a different burn speed to be set in the user options.

Also, -iso-level 3 has been set for growisofs to accomodate files larger than 4GB.

Sandfox 1.0.6

Sandfox has been updated. The default firefox profile now includes a bind for the ~/.Xauthority file, which is required to start a sandboxed Firefox in some cases. If you already have sandfox installed, you can delete the file /etc/sandfox/firefox.profile and sandfox will recreate it with the new default.

This version also issues a warning if you run a sandboxed firefox with an instance of firefox already running. (In general other instances should be closed before running sandfox, or firefox may simply open an additional window for the already running instance, rather than starting a sandboxed instance.)
