X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=konq-bugs&m=102812436814142

Package: konqueror
Version: KDE 3.0.1 
Severity: wishlist
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Hi!

I just tried to download Qtella (www.qtella.net). It's just like with every sourceforge app: You choose a 
mirror, they start downloading automatically.

But Konqueror opens embedded Ark. aargh!
And within embedded Ark there isn't "save archive...".

So I have to know (1st) which link "<file>.tar.gz" really points to the file, (2nd) be quick, "stop" the autostart HTML-page, and (3rd) do shift-click the tar.gz.

That really slows me down and is quite annoying :(
(especially if I shift-clicked the wrong (the redirection) link (which saves a wrong "<file>.tar.gz"), if I was too slow and Ark opens, or if konqueror crashed because I forgot to "stop" and trying to start download automatically while handling my shift-click request was too much for konqui)

I wonder whether this isn't annoying to others too?

Please give us a choice to download or open files if they're "not local && not absolutely related to browsing" (and I can imagine only a few file formats where a choice box would annoy me, e.g. HTML and images)

Thank you very much :)
