Description: will it be possible to implement something like this in next konq? like the one on thunar: http://thunar.xfce.org/plugins.html#thunar-uca ============================ This plugin also ships as part of the Thunar distribution in the plugins/thunar-uca/ subdirectory. It allows users to extend the context menus of the file manager (and xfdesktop) with custom actions that run external programs. ============================ The user can edit this actions in the Custom Actions dialog shown in the screenshot above, which is available from the Edit menu as Configure custom actions... in every Thunar window. ============================ [!]This way it will be very easy for the end user to create his/her own service menu by inputing the commands by hand for the preffered filetype(s).
it will also bring more feature rich interactivity to my previous idea for managing service menus: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=37465Last changelog:
changed the screenshot 2, so it shows an example to use it
Since there's not a lot of easy-to-find and easy-to-understand documentation on how to do that kind of stuff, having something like this would be nice.
you can easily input the command by hand,without the need of knowing bash or any other programming language.
Like when you have image files and you want them to be edited in a certain kind of way, you can use a bunch of imagemagick commands.
Its easy for the END user to make his own service menu,by just typing the commands he wants.

Hi, we have something like this in Krusader. The drawback of Service-menus is that they are only accesable via the context-menu. Krusader User Actions are completely integrated in the application like the build-in actions (so you can put them in the toolbar or assign a shortcut if you like) http://krusader.sourceforge.net/handbook/useractions.html http://krusader.sourceforge.net/screenshotsfs.php?limit=23&next=15
krusader is indeed very powerfull. Konq could use some of its features =)

How is this different from the usual Service Menus?
i agree, konqueror already has this ability. are you asking for a gui to create service menus?
It's what I understand. I tryed to add a service menu, but I gave up because I was fed up whith searching tutorial to explain how to do.
perhaps someone could write a kcontrol module for easier management/creation of servicemenus?

this could be added to my previous idea here: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=37465
