[Downloads] Port to KUIServerV2JobTracker and enable instant reporting

Kai Uwe Broulik requested to merge work/jobtracker-only-with-filename into master

We probably don't want the KIO Widgets job tracker as fallback as that won't be any more useful than what the browser has buit-in.

Furthermore, set immediate progress reporting, so that the job is shown right away and always, i.e. even when downloading a small file will show a "Finished" notification with useful "Open" action.

Finally, while at it get rid of "id" in DownloadJob as it was never used.


  • In Chrome right-clicked on an image, chose "Save As", got a job popup immediately, with e.g. "Downloading: someimage.jpg". Once I chose a filename, it updated to "Downloading Finished: someprettyimage.jpg to Downloads"
  • In Chrome right-clicked a link to a large ISO image, chose "Save As", got a job poppu immediately, with e.g. "Downloading: some.iso" Once I chose a file name, it updated to "Downloading: some.iso to Some Folder"
  • Started a normal download, job popup was shown immediately now rather than after a short delay.
