+Service Menus
+=============
+
+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.).
