Cobian Reflector • 3 Bugs - temporary path in output location, missing source in backup, empty archive name

I'm very happy to see a new incarnation of the Cobian Backup :-D

I've give Reflector 0.9.001 a go and found a few bugs described below.

Settings:
[ON] Use system's temporary directory. C:\Windows\Temp
[ON] Use absolute paths.
[ON] Always create top parent folder.

Differential backup.
Monolithic compression.

Source:
E:\cd\work
E:\work
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Invention series
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Visual Studio 2013
C:\Users\<user>\Documents\GitHub

Destination:
A:\backups\cobian

Results at the output backup location:
A:\backups\cobian\c\WINDOWS\TEMP
Each source folder in a separate ZIP file.

I've expected a single archive with absolute paths inside. And definitely no temporary path in backup output.

Archive for E:\cd\work missing. Only work.zip for E:\work.

Task needed about an hour to finish instead of a 10-15 minutes needed by Gravity for a full backup. Maybe due to the "conflicting" source names(?)

Another task. The same settings. Different source.

Source:
E:\cd\.kp_data
E:\dokumenty\klucze

Interesting part of the log:

Code:

    2021-09-23 22:10:12 Compressing the directory "e:\cd\.kp_data\" into a monolithic archive...    2021-09-23 22:10:12 Adding the directory "e:\cd\.kp_data\" to the archive...    2021-09-23 22:10:12 Clearing the archive attribute of the source directory "e:\cd\.kp_data\"...    2021-09-23 22:10:12 The monolithic archive "5" has been created. Files in archive: 5. Folders: 1. Ignored files: 0  Uncompressed size: 1,78 MB    2021-09-23 22:10:12 Copying the file "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\.zip" to "A:\backups\cobian\C\WINDOWS\TEMP"...    2021-09-23 22:10:12 The file "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\.zip" has been successfully copied to "A:\backups\cobian\C\WINDOWS\TEMP\.zip".    2021-09-23 22:10:12  * Backup part for task "4. Private" ended. Number of backed up files: 1. Backup part size: 1,78 MB. *    2021-09-23 22:10:12 Deleting the temporary archive "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\.zip"...    2021-09-23 22:10:12 The temporary archive "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\.zip" has been successfully deleted.    2021-09-23 22:10:12 Compressing the directory "e:\dokumenty\klucze\" into a monolithic archive...    2021-09-23 22:10:12 Adding the directory "e:\dokumenty\klucze\" to the archive...
Notice that output archive was named ".zip" as the first source folder was ".kp_data". I'd rather expect the name to be "kp_data", "_kp_data", "klucze" or <task_name>.zip.

Hope this helps.
