changing context menu

Martin
Hi all,

I apologize if I repeat that question but I wasn't able to find an answer - sorry!

within  kde  I have a context menu assosiated to images, it resides at /home/my-user/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus, it's called action_for_pics.desktop . In that menu I do have invokes for several scripts, i.e. shell scripts for automation of making hdr of several raw pics and about 20 other. It all works fine within dolphin or krusader and alike. In dolphin i.e. it's shown beneeth the "open with" entry.

What I want to do is to have this context menu entry inside digikam too, but I can't figure out how to do that.

Can someone enlight me here please?

Thanks in advance
Martin

Hi Martin,

I use these KDE Services very often, too.
In Dolphin the appear in the context menu as "Actions".
But Digikam seems not to support those.
 -> feature request ;)

Workaround:
But Digikam does have an "Open With" context menu entry.
So in the directory "~/.local/share/applications" I added a
file "myAction.desktop".

  --------------------- >8 ---------------------

This is working great for me for several years now. ;)
I hope, this helps you, too.

Regards,
        Peter
