Description Mohd Asif Ali Rizwaan 2005-02-25 04:41:01 UTC 
Version:           v0.8.3 (using KDE 3.3.2, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.29

Add 5 txt files, 5 jpg files, 5 mpg files, and 5 mp3 files in kget to download.

Now it is very difficult to identify the file type just by looking at the file name in text format. 

The user has to read the .txt or .jpg  or .mpg or .mp3 extension to understand the file type.

KGet must have icons before the filename for easier identification of the file type in the downloads.

like:
===========================================
[downloading] [icon] [filename] [filetype] 
-><-          [X]     file1      txt
->            [J]     file2      jpg
->o           [m]     file3      mpg
->o           [M]     file4      mp3
->o           [X]     file5      txt
===========================================

"-><-" connected, 
"->" queued 
"->o" scheduled
the animated connection status icons.

[X], [J], [m], [M], are the file mime icons.

Thank you.

Due to the move from the make_kget_cool branch back into kdenetwork, this issue has been resolved.
