            Bug ID: 404313
           Summary: Linux Mint 19v1 how to change the behaviour of K3b
                    with a blank DVD in a removable drive?
           Product: k3b
           Version: 17.12.3
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Copying
          Assignee: k3b at kde.org
          Reporter: arclite7 at gmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
the application fails to check first if a prior copy of itself already exists,
to then open a courtesy dialogue of "A prior iteration K3b exists. Continue
(Y/N)"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Default behaviour of blank disk enquiry, set to K3b
2. Start multi-media copy project K3b
3. At each subsequent blank (DVD) insertion

OBSERVED RESULT
Confusion over multiple iterations of K3b and its various dialogue windows need
be closed without disrupting th current copy process as this is now obscured
EXPECTED RESULT
So to clear what appears to be an application error, i.e. the application fails
to check first if a prior copy of itself already exists, to then open a
courtesy dialogue of:

"There is already a copy of K3b running, do you really want to start a fresh
iteration of K3b? (Y/N)"

But failing this, how can I now change the default behaviour of the DVD drive
whenever a fresh disk is inserted? This is not made clear after the initial
request for default behaviour! (another programming error after entrapping the
end-user, then ignoring the needs of the end-user/non-programmer!)
