And in the second step (later) we can reuse that filename to provide a different servicetypename and deprecate KonqPopupMenuPlugin.

Yes, there is currently no KF5-based release of anything that installs this file. Service menus might work for some users though if distros package lib/konq (which is ported to KF5, but not released).

I'll push this and the commit for the "Create New" menu issue tomorrow if there are no objections. Maybe I'll also send a mail to the kde-packager list, such that the packagers can decide if they want to backport them. This would prevent that users will have to wait until November (or even longer, if distros do not update the KF5 libs regularly) until they get a functional context menu again.

On the one hand, the translation of this 'Comment' might not be that important because the it is not shown anywhere in the UI as far as I know (it is shown in the 'Type' column in Dolphin though when viewing the directory where this file is installed). But on the other hand, it might be better to resolve both context menu issues in the same KIO release. What do others think?
