            Bug ID: 379146
           Summary: KTorrent shouldn't keep grabbing attention when adding
                    a torrent
           Product: ktorrent
           Version: 5.0
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: joris.guis...@gmail.com
          Reporter: abderrahman.naj...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

KTorrent should keep its current state when adding a torrent or magnet URI. The
current behavior is if KTorrent is minimized or in the background, it pops up
after clicking on a magnet and steals focus, then pops up again when the
contents of the URI have been cached (i.e. the download dialog).

This gets annoying. Especially if it's an old magnet that takes sometime to
find (and the user goes to do something else), or when trying to add multiple
torrents/magnets (e.g. a page with 10 magnets, each time I'll have to deal with
KTorrent to minimize it, which defeats the purpose of dealing with them all
later at once).

So, if the user has KTorrent in the foreground there's no problem if the dialog
pops up, because the program is in focus. But if KTorrent is in the background,
it should stay like that and not steal focus. Maybe show a task manager
notification (a la Dolphin when copying/moving for example) instead.
