Description Kenjiro Tanaka 2009-07-07 02:43:50 UTC
Version:           2.2.95 (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc-4.2.4 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When I let kget manage my downloads it wants to save everything on my HOME directory. If I want to, just as an example, save five different files into '/tmp', one right after another, the first time it shows me my HOME as the "target", OK. But on all the subsequent files it will do the same, even if before I saved the earlier file into '/tmp'.

No matter what I mark/choose on kget, first it presents me my HOME dir. In KDE-4.2.4 I could make it present me the last directory I used as destination.

It's really anoying having to re-choose the destination directory everytime you download something.

AND, when I choose '/tmp' as the destination directory, kget adds 'kenjiro' to the path. I guess it is because my home dir is '/home/kenjiro', then when I click on that icon to choose the destination, it opens '/home' and the directory 'kenjiro' is selected. Then, no matter what destination dir I choose, 'kenjiro' goes to the end of that path (/usr/kenjiro, /tmp/kenjiro, /var/kenjiro, etc).

I hope this gets fixed before kde-4.3.0 is released officialy

Thanks for your attention

I have just compiled and packaged kde-4.3.0rc2 and the problem is still there.

The problem is still around, now on KDE-4.3.0rc3.

Before I forgot to mention that I am running kde-4.x.x on:

Bluewhite64-12.2
packages compiled from source

Need anything else?

Thanks, it's fixed in the current version (after RC3 unfortunately). You won't see the extra dialog showing you the source URL and the target directory anymore. Instead, you will get just a filedialog asking for the target file. And that one remembers the last used directory.
