            Bug ID: 378913
           Summary: KNewStuff download dialog improvements
           Product: frameworks-knewstuff
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: jpwhit...@kde.org
          Reporter: mutla...@ikarustech.com
                CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

So we make extensive use of KNewStuff in KStars, and we have large data sets
(from a few kilobytes to gigabytes). I noticed that KNewStuff is a missing a
few key features:

1. No standard way to include payload size? It seems everyone just putting the
size within the summary or description.
2. No progress dialog. Just a spinning "Installing" icon and no feedback at
all. Feedback (%) is important for large downloaded.
3. No way to terminate/cancel download after it started.
4. Previews look terrible. Looks like previews are resized to some
low-resolution standard size. You can not click them to get full resolution
image.
