Bug 55605

Summary: Kget pops up download windows at random
Product: [Applications] kget Reporter: Dik Takken <kde>
Component: generalAssignee: KGet authors <kget>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED    
Severity: normal    
Priority: NOR    
Version: unspecified

Platform: Compiled Sources   
OS: Linux

Description Dik Takken 2003-03-06 13:24:25 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98) 
OS:          Linux

How to reproduce this:

1. Copy some URL's to the clipboard that cannot be downloaded by GKet, like www.google.com. 
2. KGet will pop up a download Window to confirm your download, select Cancel (KGet should never popup for URLs that are not files, but that's not the point of this bug report, maybe the next :-) ).
3. It appears that as long as the URL stays in the clipboard, KGet will repeatedly popup confirmation dialogs for the same URL, once every 5 minutes or so. The only way to get rid of it is to clear the clipboard or close KGet.

Although not perfect yet, KGet is a very cool app. Maybe it will be as good (or better!) as GetRight was back in the Windows days.

I guess this only happened when the selected text/url was selected 
inaccurately, in that there was whitespace at the beginning or end of the 
url.

Should be fixed now.

Thanks
