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 ~/.kde/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-KDE-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.)
