<p>I like it, too, and I am willing to put effort in it, as soon as we agree on a way forward.</p>

Back then, I thought about adding a keyboard modifier (like the Shift key) which must be pressed to let the Configure... item appear (similar to the context menu in Windows Explorer where the Shift key let more advanced items appear like Run as admin... etc.). I discarded the idea because of its hard discoverability.</p>
<p>Another alternative would be to somehow hook the Configuration of KMoreTools menus in the host applications main Configure... dialog. Downside: configuration is far away from the actual menu.</p>
<p>It would be cool if instead of the text "Configure..." or "More" there would be a small gear icon that does not take the space of a whole menu item. I suspect this is not possible with QMenus.</p></blockquote>
<p>I think this is quite orthogonal to the hierarchy discussion.</p>

<p>As for the implementation my idea would be:<br />
Additionally to the full menu we expose the top-level applications/more menu as List of Actions/Menu. Then the calling applications can embed them in any way they want.</p>
<p>With this approach this patch would still be an improvement for cases where the old menu is used, e.g. the Dolphin cases I described earlier</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R304 KNewStuff</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D13880">https://phabricator.kde.org/D13880</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>nicolasfella, gregormi, dhaumann, ngraham<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>kde-frameworks-devel, michaelh, ngraham, bruns<br /></div>
