           Summary: Usability issues with KGet's drop target
           Product: kget
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: plasmoid
        AssignedTo: kget at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bitdealer at gmail.com


Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          GCC 4.3 KDE4 from openSUSE 11.1 Beta1
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

IMHO there are a few things wrong with KGet's drop target plasmoid in KDE4:

1. It doesn't remember its position. Every time I enable it, it drops down from
the middle of my screen and falls into the center position instead of
remembering where it was the last time and reappearing there.

(this is said to be fixed here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51512 but
apparently an issue again)

2. It floats over all other windows, including full screen windows. IMHO it
would be better if one could configure it like:

a) be a normal plasmoid on the desktop that gets hidden behind all windows

b) float on the top of all windows excluding full screen windows

c) float on the top of all windows including full screen windows

(at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162548 it is claimed that it wont
float over fullscreen windows but this is still the case)

3. When one deselects "Show Drop Target" it raises out of the top of the
screen. IMHO it would be better if it would simply "drop" from the screen /
disappear to the bottom - as in fall down from the top, do the work and then
drop from the screen again.

Last but not least it would be great if one could simply drop URLs on the KGet
icon in the systray since this is there anyways and always in the foreground as
well which then would make the drop target plasmoid obsolete ;)
