However, in this particular case, there are not exclusively kipi plugin items in the menu. Therefore, I wonder how a solution which is done on the kipi-side only can apply here. See for example this screenshot https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/123342/file/2029/ where I configured "KolourPaint", "Gimp" (both non-kipi) and "Print images" (kipi).

Perhaps have the default ones at the top, a separator line, then the preferred kipi plugins and then a „More“ entry listing the rest.

Currently there are the mimetype applications and then kipi (export) plugins without any separator listed in the menu. I also thought of a separator but came to the conclusion that from my point of view as a user I don't see so much difference to add a separator without explaining to the user why (e.g. by adding additional menu sections). This discussion can be extended to why we have a SendTo menu only. I would find a separate "Edit..." menu and a "Print..." menu useful. But I think this van be discussed in a separate thread.

The idea in this RR is to make the menu items configurable specifically for ksnapshot's SendTo menu and not only centrally.
