Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Specifying a default folder should allow download without prompting for destination folder. As-is, NFG for use with KAlarm for unattended downloads. Workaround: use wget. So why have a GUI at all?
Well actually the default Download-Folder is actually a suggestion in the NewTransferDialog... Lukas

I found Option=>UseExpertMode apparently turns off prompting. So why doesn't it say Option=>TurnOffPrompting? For that matter, why isn't TurnOffPrompting available in the ConfigKGet=>Folders option-box? The user assigns a default directory for a filetype because he wants the program to *use* that default. Asking for confirmation after such deliberate assignment makes no sense. I assume UseExpertMode/TurnOffPrompting actually refers to prompting for DestinationFolder, and not prompting for some other reason. Is that even a valid assumption? UseExpertMode is meaningless without further exploration by the user. I saw a good discussion of this subject this morning, at: http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/08/08/03/1847220.shtml Thanks for your attention to this matter. -Roland Latour
Ahh no, sorry wrong version of me... Lukas PS: I was talking about KGet2, well I don't think this bug will be fixed in KGet 0.x.x
This works as intended in KGet from KDE 4.
