Version: 4.2.4 (using KDE 4.2.4) Compiler: gcc-c++-4.3.2-7.i386 Fedora 10 OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs The "Save as..." dialog for downloads in Konqueror defaults to the directory for documents (which defaults to the xdg-user-dir for Documents in current KDE 4). As per the xdg-user-dirs specification, they should go to Downloads, or more precisely `xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD`, instead. (Unfortunately, QDesktopServices doesn't provide this directory as of Qt 4.5.2, so you'll have to query xdg-user-dir or ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs directly. See also the source code of QDesktopServices. It's important to query the directory because the xdg-user-dir names can get translated to the user's language. Only the config file and the xdg-user-dir tool know the name for sure.)
Every time I've to download soemthing with the "save as" from konqui, I have to manually select the download directory even if it has been configured on system settings. I confirm this bug.
The API to retrieve the Download folder is available at "QString KGlobalSettings::downloadPath()" (and this path can be set in SystemSettings/About Me/Paths) So, Konqueror would be able to select this folder.

Ping? Is there any chance this will get fixed any time soon?
I have set the standard paths in systemsettings for downloaded files to /home/user/Downloads and Konqueror does not recognize this. It always wants to save downloaded files to /home/user/Documents. It´s now KDE 4.7.x - time... the bug was reported in KDE 4.2.x and still exists... would be great if this would get fixed. thanks!
4.10 is out, bug still is here
