I disagree. K3B is not a backup program, it's a general-purpose optical
burner (and ripper). This kind of "feature" may be useful in a small
number of cases, but IMHO it would be better to have a separate tool to
do the splitting, which then could be used with other burners or indeed
with other media. That's the Unix Way :-)
That is the *command line* Unix way. Not the graphical Unix way.
The disk splitting isn't just for backups. Let say I want to store my
photos (raw and jpgs) onto DVDs to save space on my hard drive. I want
them in their native file format, not compressed. I want the slits to
be logical. It will take many disks.
