I'm having problems with character sets and k3b. Yesterday I needed to
burn a backup disk of some files which contained accented characters, and
k3b complained. I used convmv to convert the files from ISO8859-15 to
utf8, and the backup completed.

This morning I wanted to write a further disk of the same files, but I
can't get past being told that it finds an incorrectly encoded filename.

I've tried setting kde to use utf8, and also tried setting it to use
ISO8859-15. I can't understand why I could burn the disk last night, but
not this morning. Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get
around this?

Correction - the disk burned last night contained all the data except the
directory with those files. I do need a backup, though, so the question
still stands.


Not a solution to the k3b problem,
but you could make a tar archive of that dir, and burn the tar to CD,
then at least you'll have your backup.

Kind regards,
