Version: 1.0.4 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux Tomas Pospisek <tpo_deb@sourcepole.ch> reported on the Debian tracker that K3b outputs a lot of information to the command line. While this is useful for debugging purposes, he notes that it makes it hard to continue using the terminal where k3b was started. Of course, one could pipe the output to /dev/null, but he suggested instead that the default be mostly silent and that debugging output be shown only when a "--verbose" switch is used. From http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=455815 : "At startup k3b dumps several pages of debug info to STDOUT/STDERR. That's not nice behaveour when started from withing of a console. If needed that could be handled by a start option (f.ex. --verbose).ebug info to stdout/stderr"
Isn't it up to the packager to enable or disable debugging in KDE apps?
So would that be a configure option for K3b or is it something that is more general and needs to be enabled/disabled for all of KDE ?
try kdebugdialog.
