           Summary: Get rid of the pop up transfer list for the drop
                    target
           Product: kget
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kget at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jmdavisProg at gmail.com


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.
