The field "Place new downloads inside default folder: " in KGet settings is completely useless, because entering there has no effect with every directory. The next settings opening shows the old value there, for me it's a home directory. The same is when exiting and opening KGet again. Though there're some effect, because sometimes after change new downloads places in the right dir, but the value still doesn't change. I have special directory settings in certain tab, perhaps this is the reason.
To reproduce:
1. Make some directory settings in 'Directories' tab.
2. Open settings and enter any different directory as default. Confirm it.
3. Open settings again and check the value. It didn't change.
4. Exit KGet and open it, open settings and check the value. No change.
5. Try downloading the file for which no directory defined in Directory tab. Sometimes it is downloaded to the right place that you've typed in #2.
