Quick notes:
* You don't need the setTranslator call in main.cxx there's automagic for
that
* You should remove the kollix at aon.at in the about data and get a
bugs.kde.org product
* Seems there's some issues with i18n, after a quick backup i got
...finished slice /home/kdeunstable/kbackup/build/
backup_2018.01.10-00.02.29_1.tar(I18N_ARGUMENT_MISSING)
-- Filtered Files: 0(I18N_ARGUMENT_MISSING)
* What is the Medium: label and the percentage bar after it?
* How do i get a non full backup? ( i guess it would be an incremental one? )
Cheers,
Albert
