SUMMARY Adding a directory containing over 199 files adds x-199 files STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a data project 2. "Add to Project" a folder containing 217 files OBSERVED RESULT 18 files are added. No error is produced. EXPECTED RESULT 217 files should be added. The number seems to be x-199--if I add three extra dummy files, so it contains 220 files, 21 files are now added. I tried it on another directory and the same thing happened, also adding x-199 files. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Mageia Linux 8.0. K3b version 20.12.0 (which is not listed above under Version:) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION No existing bug matches this but I did find a similar bug mentioned elsewhere at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/630966/k3b-only-imports-part-of-data The workaround is to select all the files and add them, rather than trying to add the folder. This is a serious bug because it can silently cause data loss.
Update to 21.04.0
(In reply to Albert Astals Cid from comment #1) > Update to 21.04.0 Thanks pointing this. Reported malfunctioning version = 20.12.0 Current latest available release version = 21.04.1 As Mageia is a fixed release, we are investigating to migrate some packages to latest release. But, is there an interesting commit for k3b to solve the main issue of this report? I could then argue to upgrade all KFramework/Plasma/KDE Gear stuff for Mageia 8.
