[Digikam-users] changing context menu

[Peter Albrecht]

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
