Description dmoyne 2008-08-25 13:14:06 UTC

Version:           2.1.0 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.24-19-generic

See bug related to Konqueror :
bug #169161
bug #158898

Kget has an option to decide to be integrated in Konqueror or not and this is nonsense as typically this is for the main application to decide which plugin, or which feature, or which application to use.

Should you without paying attention set this option in Kget you may have problems as I experienced in bug #158898 where in this case when trying to load a file I lost control on the name of the file to be stored (in this case all the time the same name).

On the other hand Konqueror may propose other file downloader complying with KDE rules (you may decide to test a new file downloader).

There are no other example in KDE where an application declares itself to be used by another application ; very curious this developer's idea and very strange that is has been accepted as such !

Regards.
