            Bug ID: 351210
           Summary: Quicklists (or Actions) for .desktop files
                    implementation
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

It is already included as part of the *.desktop files standar to have an
[Action][1] section. It allows to launch a program under various parameters and
have those variants available through a right-click menu.
I think Unity has a very decent implementation of this feature. But we lack it
completely in KDE.

Examples under other OSs:

-Unity quicklists:

-Windows jump-lists:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Right click on any *.desktop file containing an [Action] section as defined
per standar

Actual Results:  
Menu pops up no including the [Action] section.

Expected Results:  
Menu shuold reflect the entries under the [Action] section of the .desktop file
