Description Jay 2003-01-10 13:45:33 UTC

Version:           4.0 (using KDE 3.1.0 (RC6))
Installed from:    Gentoo
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.1
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20

When downloading a .tar.gz from sf it is opened in an embedded viewer. When I SHIFT+CLICK the download link ( before the autodownload from SF starts after 5 secs or so ), Konqueror will vanish.

Comment 1 Jay 2003-04-11 03:32:13 UTC

well it doesn't vanish but often enough it opens compressed files embedded instead 
of downloading them.

Comment 2 Jay 2003-04-11 03:33:00 UTC

well it doesn't vanish but often enough it opens compressed files embedded instead 
of downloading them. ( kde 3.1.1 now )

confirmed on CVS 
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=7559 
klick download - this is a php script - and the underlying file is opened embedded. 
 
I found no way how to download the file using konqueror - except of removing ark 
from the file association 
 
(or using wget <URL> from konqueror) 
 
IMHO the user should be asked what he wants  
A different situation is if the user clicks on the gz/bz2 file, which is not the case here

that would save the download as download.php, in fact, it would not also name 
that file download.php, it actually would download the download.php. opening 
anything embedded through a http link is not a good idea imho.. except for 
html and php files and stuff like that.

I have the same problem. It is mainly with Sourceforge but it happens elsewhere as well. If you SHIFT+CLICK before the autodownload starts, Konqueror crashes with a segmentation fault. If you let the autodownload continue you get a listing of the contents of the tar.gz file. Older versions of Konqueror didn't do this.

I have also tried changing the file associations and that has no effect. It seems that Konqueror has tar.gz association hardcoded to something but I don't know what. As a last resort I removed ark from my system and Konqueror still opened the file and displayed a listing. This makes Konqueror almost useless for accessing Sourceforge.

Please please please put the simple behaviour back as the default and make any automated stuff configurable for those who want it.

Best wishes....
Colin

Comment 7 Maksim Orlovich 2004-05-24 19:21:29 UTC

3.2 should ask whether to open embedded or save. Does anyone still have the problem with that version? If so, where?

Comment 8 Dik Takken 2004-06-09 19:52:44 UTC

I can't reproduce the problem in KDE 3.2.2. No one has reported updates on the problem since last February, so I guess this one can be closed.
