           Summary: Actions after finishing download are smart but
                    considered harmful
           Product: kget
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kget at kde.org
        ReportedBy: squan at web.de


KGet allows to configure an action after downloads have finished.
That's nice.
But at 1st it has a bug:
Once configured you will have a hard time to use kget and to get rid of this
option - because this action is always triggered a few seconds after starting
kget again!
This means either kget gets unusable because it terminates itself after being
started (because there are no active downloads) or - even worse - it shuts down
the computer!

The 2nd point to be considered here is the shutdown option in conjunction with
kget being configured as download manager of konqueror: 
Even an experienced user may not think of the consequences and will experience
shutdowns when doing the next download (may be days or weeks after activating
the option), data loss is probable (the user may be have open documents).
Also users may be clueless about the reason of the shutdown or even interprete
it as an X or KDE crash.

My proposal: If kget shuts down the system, there must be a notification with
the possibility to cancel the shutdown.
Or alternatively the shutdown option should shutdown only once on each
activation.
