Description Syam 2008-11-20 15:05:16 UTC 
Version:           2.1.1 (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Dolphin is file manager, and will be *mostly* used to browse a local file system. I find the 'Download with KGet' option in the 'Actions' submenu when I right-click a file.
How useful is this option for a file manager, unless perhaps you are browsing a network share or FTP site.

Does that small use case mandate this menu item?

MMh I see Peter is CCed to this :)
From what I can see this is not really a kget issue... anyway look here:

@Lukas: I'm not very familiar with the current service menu code (David Faure did most of the parts I think), but it looks - like you said - not as an issue of KGet.

Anyhow there is a general issue with service menus: Currently it is out of scope of Dolphin/Konqueror which service menus are installed. I originally wanted to have a graphical configuration for KDE 4.2 to be able to adjust which installed service menus should be shown in the context menu. But I was running out of time :-( 

As I want to fix this in KDE 4.3, I'll take over this issue to for getting familiar with the topic. I've changed the product to Dolphin (although it's probably related konq-libs).

Hey Peter!
Ok good to hear!
We have pretty much the same issue in trunk with the Transfer's Context-Menu as well, so would be nice to hear from you for 4.3 :)

To make it clear, the "Download with Kget" option appears when browsing the local filesystem. This should not be.
Comment 5 Matthias Fuchs 2010-07-07 10:57:39 UTC 
This appears to be fixed now, since I can't reproduce it anymore.
