If KGet integration is enabled rekonq should not ask me where to save a file to download, but let KGet do this. This is also how it work in Konqueror and what makes most sense to me: if you use a download manager, let it do the job. The background is that in KGet you can create groups of files with predefined download locations. And based on file extension KGet then automatically picks a group and thus a location where to download a file. You get a dialog where you can switch the group if you want, but usually all you have to do is click Ok. Very convenient. So, without knowing the details it seems that rekonq tells KGet "download this file to that location", where the preferred way is to just say "download this file" and let KGet do the rest. Reproducible: Always
Right, rekonq says KGet where downloading files. I was not aware about this kget feature and you're the first one pointing me out about it. Trying to fix in time for 1.1
Cool, thanks!
Git commit 5a5b8f01c699ec16a82f07b436433dc4e73e4f1b by Andrea Diamantini. Committed on 26/02/2013 at 18:42. Pushed by adjam into branch 'master'. If KGet is selected as download manager, let it decide destination WARNING: to let this work, we had to change rekonq behavior, NOT remembering in rekonq downloads history what has been downloaded via KGet CCMAIL: ericsbinaryworld@gmail.com M +17 -41 src/download/downloadmanager.cpp M +0 -1 src/download/downloadmanager.h http://commits.kde.org/rekonq/5a5b8f01c699ec16a82f07b436433dc4e73e4f1b
First of, thanks for taking care of this. Though, when trying it out I noticed that this is not quite what I had in mind (and what Konqueror uses). What I meant is the dialog you get with the showNewTransferDialog() function of the DBUS interface. Could you use this one instead of addTransfer()? This way you get a nice compact dialog with the preselected proper download group (and path) and the chance to select a different group (or manually change the location), instead of the plain file dialog. Sorry, found this out just now.
Hi Michael, I'll try to take care in next release cycle.

Should Michael file a new entry about the new behavior?
