Ctrl+S on a page you navigated to directly via file:// is still a
"download" as far as chrome.downloads is concerned, so auto-capture
was intercepting it and handing the local path to KGet, which
rejects it with a confusing "protocol is not supported" dialog since
it's a network download manager, not a file copier. Extend the
existing blob:/data: exclusion to also cover file:/filesystem:, and
apply the same guard to the right-click capture path.
Chrome's own "Ask where to save each file" setting shows a native
picker before the extension can ever intercept the download, and no
extension API can read or suppress it -- surface this clearly in
install.sh, the README, and a popup shortcut instead of leaving it
buried as a footnote.
Also fixes silently missing "download complete" notifications: KGet
only fires its own finished-notification if a transfer was observed
in a non-finished state at least once, so small/fast downloads that
complete before that first observation never get one. The native
host now drives its own notification via notify-send, polling actual
transfer progress instead of relying on KGet's internal check, and
install.sh disables KGet's own notification to avoid duplicates.
Switch auto-capture from onCreated to onDeterminingFilename, which
fires once Chrome has already resolved the real filename (from
Content-Disposition or the URL). That name is now passed through to
the native host and used to build a full dir+filename destination for
addTransfer, replacing showNewTransferDialog. A non-empty destDir
makes KGet skip its interactive dialog and start immediately, which
also fixes it showing an opaque URL path segment as the filename for
signed/obfuscated URLs (e.g. cloud storage links) instead of the real
name.
Also enable KGet's existing (but disabled-by-default) "Download
Finished" KNotify popup via install.sh, so there's still feedback now
that captures no longer show an interactive dialog.
install.sh now sets KGet's remembered "New Download" folder
(kgetrc Internal/LastDirectory) to the XDG downloads directory if it
isn't already configured, since KGet's own out-of-the-box default was
Documents. Falls back correctly even when xdg-user-dir has no
user-dirs.dirs config to read (it silently returns bare $HOME
otherwise).
Also add a GitHub Actions workflow that packages extension/ into a zip
and publishes a GitHub Release with generated notes whenever a
v*.*.* tag is pushed.
