K3B unsuitable for backup -- please vote for this bug!
There's a known problem with the K3B CD/DVD writing program: when you save a directory as a project, K3B saves the directory contents, not just its name. The result is that if you modify the contents by adding or deleting components (subdirectories or files) and reuse the project, the modifications are not reflected in the newly written CD/DVD. I have reported this problem to bugs.kde.org under bug 69994. So this post is a bit of electioneering on my part: please, if you're interested in using K3B for backup, go to bugs.kde.org and cast your votes for bug 69994. Many thanks! Paul

Indeed. Is this not the third time you've informed us of this behavior?

Of course. The point of my message was not to inform people of the behavior (though those newly added to the list might not know of it) but to enlist support at kde.org for getting the problem fixed. bugs.kde.org has a voting system where you can vote for a bug, and presumably, the more votes for a bug, the higher the priority they attach to fixing it. OK? Paul
