Description tvignaud 2003-10-09 18:43:46 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc-3.3.1 
OS:          Linux

when one upload a file (to eg bugzilla), a popup appears warning about sg like "we're about to upload a file to internet. are you sure?"

whereas this is good for "once a time" uploads due to security issues, it's annoying when one upload quite a lot of files.

in order to please both user classes, it would be nice if this popup has a button labelled "do not warn anymore about uploads to this site".

a "like cookies" managment tool would be nicer, enabling to remove web sites from the "authorized for upload" sites.

this usuability bug exists for quite a long time.

Patch to allow disabling of confirmation dialog

While the site manager functionality is great, its a lot of work and it will
take some time to get it in. in the mean time - it shouldn't be hard to put in
a configuration option to disable the confirmation dialog - even w/o a GUI.

Here's a simple patch to do it - as I don't know enought about KDE GUI, no GUI
is allows. this just reads an "HTML Settings" variable for
"FileUploadConfirmation" and doesn't popup the dialog if it exists and set to
false.

Why isn't that in CVS by now?

What's up with this issue? Unless you're complete beginner this requester is pretty annoying instead of being useful.

Are you talking about the original reporter ? This bug report is reasonable and the behavior required is useful. I'm surprised that this isn't FIXED already - Laurent Montel has made a patch for this issue a long time ago, and this fix is in all Mandriva's builds. 

I personally don't mind that much because I use Mandriva builds almost exclusively, but I wonder why this didn't make it into CVS.
