Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages In kde 4.3, a new pop up was added to kget. When the mouse is hovering over the drop target, a window with the transfer list appears. Personally, I find this totally useless, highly annoying, and that it just plain gets in the way. It does not appear to restrict its length in any way, so it just expands until it takes up the whole screen vertically (and horizontally if the links are particularly long). Also, I believe that the longer the list is, the slower the popup is, so the slower it is to get the drop target to respond when you drag links onto it. Also, at least some of the time, the popup actually blocks the mouse from dragging anything onto the drop target (since it doesn't react instantly to the mouse moving - especially when the list gets long). I don't understand what benefit this feature really gives. If I want to see the download list, I can open up kget itself. It's irrelevant to dragging files onto the drop target. And whoever came up with this must not end up with very long download lists or they'd have realized how quickly it gets in the way. So, I find this "feature" _highly_ annoying, and I ask that you either remove it completely or at least make it possible to disable it in the preferences.
SVN commit 1032711 by dario: Make the drop-target popup tooltip less intrusive by making it appear only after two seconds with the mouse hovering the widget and by updating it just every two seconds. An option has been added in the configuration dialogs to disable these popups. BUG: 205551 M +19 -3 droptarget.cpp M +4 -0 droptarget.h WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1032711
