KFM right-click / "Send to..."

KFM right-click / "Send to..."

Post by kia.. » Thu, 06 Jul 2000 04:00:00


How can I add entries to the KFM right-click menu?
I want to have a smaller "Send to..." menu than the very large "Open
with" option.
Also, I want to add other functions such as checking directory sizes or
tailing a file.
Which file can I edit to modify this?
I have gone through the FAQs and various sources without finding a
useful recipe.

Hmm, I don't see how this could be done without hacking the source.
"Send to..." ... the only Windowsim KDE doesn't have :-}

For those, you only have to write a program or script that performs the
action
you want, create a kdelnk for it and put it in the (personal or global)
applnk
dir, and bind it to the file type (or allfiles/alldirs/all for more
general
bindings).

So, perhaps a future feature to come.

Thanks, I'll try that. I found "kdirstat" and "ktail" for these specific
purposes, but for general use I'll try your solution.

Also, I'll make a function similar to the "Command Prompt Here"
Microsoft Power Toy to open a terminal window starting in a certain
directory.

Its already exists in konqueror. Try Ctrl-T

Hmm Ctrl+T does it fine :-)

Isn't "Send to" in other words: an application that can handle
all mime types?

This should be doable with Kde I think.
Well, at least I expect it to be possible ... (which does not mean
that much in this case, acutally ;-))

Any application that is declared to handle the kind of file you
right-clicked on, should appear on the RMB menu.

Ctrl+T or file->new terminal.

1. : Konqueror "right-click" menu customization

Dear all,

I am sorry that I do not know if what I want to do need to modify the
source code and I do not know whether
I should post here.  Could you kindly forward to the correct mailing
list if I am wrong here. Thanks.

When opening the Konqueror, I would like to do:

1 a).  select a file, or
1 b).  select a list of files/directories

2) right-click them, a right-click menu is shown with some options.  
 e.g. for *.tgz there are options "Archiver", "Preview with Archiver",
"Extract here"

 I want to add myself a new option "zip to ..." and submenu will be
"'filename'.zip" and "new zip".

3) after choosing "'filename'.zip", I want the file/ collections of
files and directories zipped and then opened
  with Archiver

Difficulites:
i) I can add my own new option "myoption" associated with some files
extension;
it is in /usr/share/konqueror/servicemenus/ add a file
myoptionservicemenu.desktop;
But actually I want all types of files can be zipped.
 When I tried:

 [Desktop Entry]
 ServiceTypes=all/all,all/allfiles

 I can not do what I want.

ii)How can I add my own option on the right-click menu when user
selectd a list of files/directories instead of one file?

iii) I can now create a new option when 1 file is selected and
right-clicked; how can I create a submenu
   zip -> gzip
         -> unzip
  first create "zip" and further user can select whether use gzip or
unzip (for example)?

iv) to compress the selected files and directories;  since I will
further call ark to open the zip file;
  I will write my own script to do 2 things, zip them and call ark to
open the zip file.
  So, I need to pass the names of the files and directories into my
script,  any idea?

I have searched for a while but can not get the answer, hope anybody
could help.  I want to know if I need to modify the source code?

Thanks very much.
