Konqueror right click menu

Can I add a custom menu entry on right click in konqueror?
I want to be able to select files and directories and add them to a compressed backup file, or create a new backup file to use simply by right click and select "compress with ark" or something like that.

Re: Konqueror right click menu

You could create custom konqueror service menu too. Please find example service menu file in the attachment, and copy it into the '$HOME/.trinity/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/' folder.
It will create 'krusader' context menu entry of the 'My Computer' desktop icon, just right click on the 'My Computer' desktop icon.

In addition, you can define different menu actions for different file types, see 'X-TDE-ServiceTypes' entry.

Thanks, I've been looking through the default entries in /opt/trinity/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/ for examples too.

@Dai_trying, did you create the custom command for Ark by right clicking?

If so, can you post here please?

Grateful!

Re: Konqueror right click menu

I installed tdeaddons-trinity package which added a lot of other packages but it was the simplest solution, just remember to log-out and back in to implement the addons. If you are having trouble creating it and don't want to install the addons I will look into it for you, let me know.

Re: Konqueror right click menu

Yes, I wanted to create the command natively, without the need to install the addons...

Re: Konqueror right click menu

I just had a little look into this and although I can make it work sometimes I cannot figure out (at the moment) how to get it working properly.

I also looked at the packages and have found the package konq-plugins-trinity which has the required plugins and will only download a few dependencies (some of which might be required to get it working properly anyway) which could be a better choice.

Natively I cannot get what I would call a working solution and as this is available without the large download of the full trinity addons package I would say konq-plugins-trinity would be the recommended solution to this.

Re: Konqueror right click menu

Humm, interesting...

I'll follow your suggestion and take a slow look at these two packages that you've indicated (tdeaddons-trinity and konq-plugins-trinity).

Greetings!
