I'd like to request an enhancement to K3B, that being that it automagically splits a data set larger than the capacity of 1 disk into multiple disks.
I would like to see the user have some control over where it splits it. I'd like to see the background on the data icons in the file browser colored different colors to reflect which disk the data goes on. And then the user could drag the color interfaces left or right to effect the disk boundaries. Or something like that.
Anyone want to discuss this ?
Where should I submit it ?
Thanks

i agree with need.

i believe this has been in part.
Where should I submit it ?

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.

Let's say you want to do all the above but use brasero instead of K3B, or perhaps cdrecord, or growisofs because you want it in a script. So now the brasero people and cdrecord people and growisofs are pressured to add the same thing? What about the people who want to store on tapes (they exist!). Should we change the tape archiving software as well?
The splitting has nothing to do with the burning, and there's no reason for them to be tied together. That's the Unix Way and it has nothing to do with command lines (command lines just make some usage cases easier, but in this specific case wouldn't help since it's not a natural pipeline).

those are informative links. but Linuxguy123 was asking about where he could submit a suggestion for spanning multi disk and color coding.
sourceforge and kde are not places for such request, but are good sites for additional information.
as is; http://kamikazow.wordpress.com/
ps. excuse delay in replying. i filter out 'text/html' and just now found your post.
It's already being planed for K3b 2.1: http://kamikazow.wordpress.com/2010/03/27/very-rough-plans-for-k3b-2-1/
AFAIK no code hase been written, yet. Contributions welcome. :)
