Bug Description

Binary package hint: k9copy

On /tmp/kde-<user>/k9copy temporary files exist which are not erased when k9copy is finished, which may result in the disk running full.

Worse is that sometimes (especially if 'unknown' is the directory name) k9copy refuses to start a copy with an error message that the directory already exists and another name must be chosen (which is difficult when 'unknown' is used - e.g. when the source is a folder with DVD files in it).
