I'd expect K3B to be placed in "Accessories", however it is placed in
"Sound & Video" (in GNOME, that is). To me, this doesn't make much sense.
I mostly use K3B for copying data files to CD/DVD media, a task which is not
at all related to Audio or Video.
Of course I could also use K3B to write Audio CD or Video DVD. But IMHO,
"Accessories" would be more appropriate. Or maybe even "Office".

In the german it is even worse, because the "Sound & Video" menu is called
"Unterhaltungsmedien", which literally is "Entertainment Media".

Dear submitter,

Some time ago you filed a report in the Debian bug tracking system against the k3b package, http://bugs.debian.org/k3b

Upstream have now declared a major milestone and released K3b version 2.0, which has now been uploaded to Debian unstable.

We have a fairly large backlog on bugs reported against K3b and require your assistance.

Could I ask you to install the K3b package from unstable and verify that your report is still valid with version 2.0.

If your bug has been resolved then please send an email to xxxx-done@bugs.debian.org, where xxxx is your Debian bug report number, giving your description of how the bug is working.

If your bug has not been resolved, then please first check upstream reports for a duplicate, and then send an update email to xxxx@bugs.debian.org, stating that the bug is still valid.
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=k3b

If we don't hear from you in the near term, then we may have to close your report as without moreinfo most reports are difficult to reproduce.

Thanks for your assistance in working with Debian K3b.

Mark


====================================================================================
The Debian team values users reports, but we are busy, and so we
kindly ask you to access the upstream support facilities:

There is a user mailing list which maybe used to get support:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/k3b-user

To post a message to all the list members, send email to
k3b-user@lists.sourceforge.net.


If you know that the bug you want to report is in the "upstream"
code then please check/ file against the KDE Bug tracking system:
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=k3b

You can also report bugs directly upstream using the K3b Help:Report Bug
menu entry.


If you feel that the bug is one that other Debian users should
know about then you are welcome to file a report in the Debian BTS
as well.  Please keep in mind, however, that managing bug reports
is part of the maintainers' workload.

As a minimum we ask that you Cc: k3b-user@lists.sourceforge.net any
reports you file in the Debian Bug Tracking system so that upstream
are aware of the issue you are reporting.

Hi,

No, it doesn't belong to Accessories.

The desktop file follows freedesktop menu specification:
- additional category -> DiscBurning
- related category -> AudioVideo

All burning applications use the same menu category.
If you want the category changed, you should push it on freedesktop.org.

Cheers,

Fathi

Hi,

Ok, but nevertheless a key use of K3B is beyond AudioVideo!

Indeed.
Maybe k3b should still consider itself to also belong to

Additional category -> Archiving
Related category -> Utility

There is just more you can do with k3b than Audio CDs.

Regards,
Erich
