=============
|
|
|
|
This file explains how to add an item in the popupmenu (for both
|
|
konqueror and kdesktop), without using the file associations.
|
|
|
|
Why
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
One reason for doing this is being able to associate
|
|
some action with all files without this action becoming a default handler
|
|
(called on left click).
|
|
|
|
Another is that for text-based programs and tools (e.g. gzip) it's faster
|
|
than defining a desktop file for the application, making it hidden, and
|
|
associate it with the relevant file types.
|
|
|
|
How
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Create a file `~/.trinity/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/something.desktop`
|
|
and write into it something like (without the comments):
|
|
|
|
[Desktop Entry]
|
|
ServiceTypes=text/html,text/plain # use all/all for all entries
|
|
# all/allfiles for files only
|
|
# and use inode/directory for dirs only
|
|
# you can also do things like image/* for all
|
|
# image mimetypes
|
|
Actions=gzip;mail # those are ';' separated, per the standard !
|
|
X-TDE-Submenu=Menuname # this optional entry allows grouping the
|
|
# entries in this servicemenu file into a
|
|
# common submenu, in this case "Menuname"
|
|
TryExec=gzip # Find if executable exist, if it doesn't exist
|
|
# menu entry is not displaying
|
|
ExcludeServiceTypes=application/x-zip # This entry is used to avoid to display menu
|
|
# when it's a specific servicetype
|
|
# for exemple when we use all/allfiles and zip
|
|
# them, we don't want to zip a zip file
|
|
|
|
[Desktop Action gzip] # One "Desktop Action <name>" group per Action
|
|
Name=GZip this file
|
|
Name[fr]=...
|
|
Icon=tgz
|
|
Exec=gzip %f
|
|
|
|
[Desktop Action mail]
|
|
Name=Mail this file
|
|
Name[fr]=...
|
|
Icon=kmail
|
|
Exec=kmail --there-is-no-such-option-yet %f
|
|
|
|
See also the *desktop entry standard*, which defines more formally the same
|
|
concept of actions but for desktop files (e.g. eject on a device desktop file,
|
|
etc.).
