Description Tom 2005-04-01 10:44:59 UTC

Version:           v0.8.4 (using KDE 3.4.0 Level "a" , SUSE 9.2 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-24.13-default

The situation is like this: 

Sometimes I download new versions of files from a ftp which have the same name as the old ones. Kget correctly asks if I wish to overwrite the old files, but it does this about 50 to 70 times (because of the amount of files). 

So it would be extremely useful if this dialogue could be merged into a singular one. Something just like 'The following files will be overwritten by the download...', then a list of the files and some buttons with e.g. 'change directory' and 'rename automatically', 'ok' or whatever is useful...

...btw this would be a killer feature for general file operations in KDE...

regards - and keep up the good work,
Tom
