           Summary: Give KGet intelligent groups by default
           Product: kget
           Version: 0.8.1
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kget at kde.org
        ReportedBy: marcus at harrisonland.co.uk


Version:           0.8.1 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

At the moment, all downloads, regardless of what they are, go straight to your
downloads folder by default. However, KGet is able to use groups to specify
download locations for specific kinds of files (or more pedantically, files
matching a regular expression), though the user may never be aware of this.

This suggestion is to have sane groups, such as Images, Videos and Documents,
created automatically by KGet on its first start-up and to have folders inside
the Downloads folder pertaining to each group, I.E. Images go in the
Downloads/Pictures folder, Videos into the Downloads/Videos folder, Documents
into the Downloads/Documents folder etc.

This helps to organize the user's downloads in a way that's sensible and
predictable as well as exposing the feature to the user, who might otherwise be
unaware of its presence.

Reproducible: Didn't try




OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-24-generic
