Description Falk Krönert 2012-03-29 06:53:43 UTC
From a privacy/security viewpoint it may be sensible to have Konqueror ask for user confirmation before uploading a file, however it becomes very annoying and hindering if you are uploading more than a few files.
Example: I want to upload photos to my 23 gallery, for each photo this takes about a minute to a minute and a half on my connection. Now, using a gecko-based browser I can select a bunch of photos to upload and leave it running unattended for some hours. But with Konqueror I have to sit in front of the machine and click confirm every minute or so, without the possibility to do other things in between.
My suggestion would be to allow for a "pre-confirmed" list of files to upload. This could work like this: With the first confirmation you can add via a standard KDE file dialog any number of files which will then be considered already confirmed for subsequent uploads in this session and to the same target. Not pre-confirmed files would be handled as they are now.
Another solution would be to disable confirmation for a specific upload target alltogether, but I'm not that big of a fan of this, except as a temporary workaround.

example patch

Quick&dirty example for a patch that would auto-confirm uploads originating from a dedicated directory. Didn't really test it, compiles and runs, nothing else.
