I went into KGet=>Help to figure out what you are talking about. I found 
Option=>UseExpertMode apparently turns off prompting. So why doesn't it say
Option=>TurnOffPrompting? For that matter, why isn't TurnOffPrompting 
available in the ConfigKGet=>Folders option-box? The user assigns a default 
directory for a filetype because he wants the program to *use* that default.
Asking for confirmation after such deliberate assignment makes no sense.

 I assume UseExpertMode/TurnOffPrompting actually refers to prompting for 
DestinationFolder, and not prompting for some other reason. Is that even a 
valid assumption?

 UseExpertMode is meaningless without further exploration by the user.
I saw a good discussion of this subject this morning, at:

Thanks for your attention to this matter. -Roland Latour
