Description Sergio 2025-01-10 12:26:12 UTC

SUMMARY

When you launch k3b from a terminal window, the latter gets immediately inundated by log messages from this application. Please consider a `--debug` or `--verbose` flag to activate this logging and keep it disabled by default.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Start `k3b` from the terminal

OBSERVED RESULT

The terminal is flooded with log messages

EXPECTED RESULT

Only actual errors should be reported on the terminal. The application should avoid making the terminal scroll for no reason, to the point of rapidly filling all the scroll-back buffer.
