Then please consider not printing anything, if the user did select the program. Or if a suitable program has been found. Uhm, well, the user cannot select the backend in k3b? Even knowing it is equivalent to mkisofs? Apparently not. There is only a "search" button but no "browse". Not the way I (wearing user's hat) like it.
