In running XFCE In Dolphin I wish to have a right click context menu, says myPythonScript, that will run the python script with directory and path as python sys.argv, sys.argv In Thunar to run it, I created a customs action as: python myPythonScript %d %n How can I do that under Dolphin? I tried under .local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ to create a file called righClickTest.desktop which content is: [Desktop Entry] Type=Service X-KDE-ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin MimeType=all/all; Actions=rightClick; Encoding=UTF-8 [Desktop Action rummage] Name=rightClick Exec=python %d %n But I do not see my rightclick menu. Thanks

I would like to combine these two elements that I already use: - Konsole terminal running a yt-dlp command in order to download from a copied link (like konsole -e yt-dlp 8 %u) - A Dolphin service menu to open Konsole at a specific location (konsole --workdir %f) I would like a Dolphin service menu to open Konsole at a specific location AND run the yt-dlp command. I need that when I quickly want to run that command on a USB-stick or other removable device, without the need to manually copy its location or of copying the file there after download, etc. How to combine the %f and/or %u parameters here? After --workdir they are referring to the directory that is open in Dolphin, and after yt-dlp they are referring to the copied download link, so that a line like Exec=konsole --workdir -e yt-dlp 8 %u doesn't work.

On my plasma 5.24.6 I have this entry that seems deprecated, supposedly to create links for files and folders to an activity or other. I couldn't even find what linking a file to an activity could mean. I was expecting something like opening that file/folder into a specific activity, restricting it to that activity - but that's not it at all. (For *that* window rules are needed. ) [This](https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/9xzlzm/comment/e9ybuyy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) is the only meaningful info I could get: it should create a link on the desktop in a given activity if the option was selected somewhere... [Here](https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=126257) there is an old discussing showing this might have been dead since Plasma 5.2. If this is true it seem like a deprecated feature, the option is absent in settings, and a google search gives nothing more. Can I remove that buggy menu entry?

When creating a new Dolphin service menu to create a new text file using Kate (given there is no shortcut for that like for folders and that the menu option is rather hidden under multiple clicks as said here ), using a desktop file like this [Desktop Entry] Type=Service Icon=kate Actions=new-file ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,inode/directory X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel [Desktop Action new-file] Name=New text file Icon=kate Exec=kate %u Kate creates the file not within the selected directory, but at the same path as that directory, one level up than expected: selecting folder /PATH/TO/MY_DIRECTORY and using the context menu service, the text file is ready to be saved at /PATH/TO instead of /PATH/TO/MY_DIRECTORY. The same happens with Exec=kate -n new.txt %u, as the file is created *and* saved. How to make Kate save or offer to save **within the selected directory**? How to do it inside the selected folder?

I have a servicemenuitem for KDE which copies the selected file to the desktop. It works when one file is selected on the desktop, but when multiple files are selected, they are not copied. The -exec parameter "%F has a list of all files and their full paths in, but I don't know how to get this to work with the -cp command. Thanks [Desktop Action copytodesktop] Exec=cp "%F" /home/acer1/Desktop Name=Copy To Desktop Icon=document-send [Desktop Entry] Actions=copytodesktop ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin MimeType=all/all; Type=Service X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel

I am using KDE Neon. I want to create modified versions of the "Move To" and "Copy To" services in the Dolphin file browser. I want to find the built-in services, copy their .desktop files, and edit the copies, making a new pair of services with the new option. I ran

-config --path services

and got /home/myusername/.local/share/kservices5/:/usr/share/kservices5/ I checked in both of these locations and could not find .desktop files which appeared to be related to Copy To or Move to. Do Copy To and Move To even have .desktop files associated with them? If so, where would I find them.

Is it possible to create lower levels of sub-menus in Dolphin context menu than the one created by the line X-KDE-Submenu= under [Desktop Entry]? --- Example: I have created an action called "Subtitles" (X-KDE-Submenu=Subtitles) which contains 4 options for downloading different languages with the filebot tool. I know I can make that appear in the top level or under Actions. I have set it for toplevel with the line X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel. [Desktop Entry] Type=Service Name=Download subtitles (filebot) ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin Actions=en;fr;ro;it; MimeType=video/* Icon=gnome-subtitles Encoding=UTF-8 X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel X-KDE-Submenu=Subtitles [Desktop Action en] Exec=filebot -get-subtitles -rename -non-strict %f Icon=gnome-subtitles Name=English (filebot) Termial=true [Desktop Action fr] Exec=terminator -e "filebot -get-subtitles --lang fr -rename -non-strict %f" -p ttt Icon=gnome-subtitles Name=Français (filebot) [Desktop Action ro] Exec=terminator -e "filebot -get-subtitles --lang ro -rename -non-strict %f" -p ttt Icon=gnome-subtitles Name=Româneşte (filebot) [Desktop Action it] Exec=terminator -e "filebot -get-subtitles --lang it -rename -non-strict %f" -p ttt Icon=gnome-subtitles Name=Italiano (filebot) After that I have created a second such file which is almost identical, only it uses the subliminal tool. Also, the two files have different names in Name= under [Desktop Entry]: one is Name=Download subtitles (filebot), the other Name=Download subtitles (subliminal). Nevertheless, all the eight actions of these two files appear grouped together under 'Subtitles'. I was expecting that the names in Name=Download subtitles (filebot) and Name=Download subtitles (subliminal) to count for something, but they seem to do nothing. I have created two desktop files with 4 actions each but it looks as if I had created a single desktop file with 8 actions, because the two files have in common the line X-KDE-Submenu=Subtitles. I know I can separate the actions of the two files by setting different X-KDE-Submenu names, but then I will have two different toplevel entries (or two separate entries in Actions if I remove X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel). But what I want is to have one toplevel entry called Subtitles with two sub-menus, one for filebot, the other for subliminal, and in each of these the four language options - similar to what I can add in a different OS in Nautilus. There, I have made this setting in Nautilus config tool: Which gives this: Is something similar possible in Dolphin? ---

In windows, you can and context menu entries that are only shown for specific file types only. In Dolphin, I know how to add service menu entry using .desktop file. but Is there way to only show those service menus for specific file type?

In application launchers that I have seen is Type=Application, in Dolphin actions (that I can create in ~/.local/share/kservices5) it is Type=Service. Are there other possibilities beside these two for Dolphin and KDE/Plasma 5? The context in which this interests me is that of a more specific question that I have posted at the same time: [How many sub-levels can there be in Dolphin actions/services?](https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/343211/32012) but slso [this](https://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/q/10586/170) on elementaryOS.

I am running KDE OpenSuse 13.2 which has KDE 4.14. I could not find any way to configure the "Send as Email Attachment" service menu action to open Thunderbird through any standard configuration GUI. At present, this service menu opens kmail. All searches on google pointed to old instructions that do not seem to work on OpenSuse 13.2. What is the best practice to manage KDE's Service Menu's on OpenSuse 13.2?

I have a top level service menu, now I want to add a separator before this menu, Here's my current service menu header: [Desktop Entry] Type=Service Actions=A;_SEPARATOR_;B;C; X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel X-KDE-Submenu=Debuggers ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,all/allfiles Encoding=UTF-8 MimeType=application/x-ms-dos-executable;application/x-executable;application/x-msdownload; Now I would have a sub menu named Debuggers, and it's like this, Debuggers --> A ----- B C What I want is like this, --------- Debuggers --> A ----- B C So, how should I add the separator for the top level menu?

In the Exec= line of a service menu in kde4, I normally use: Exec=command %f So I wonder, if it's necessary to quote the %f, not sure how KDE4 parses the menu file, i.e Exec=command "%f"
