[Kde-hardware-devel] Solid SerialInterface and Device Notifier

[Markus Becker]

Hi,

I am trying to create an action for a serial device, which should be available 
in the Device Notifier.

In order to do that I created the following serial.desktop file and put it into 
/usr/share/kde4/apps/solid/actions/:

-----------------
[Desktop Entry]
X-KDE-Solid-Predicate=[ IS SerialInterface ]
Type=Service
Actions=open;

[Desktop Action open]
Name=Start Serial Device
Exec=kioclient exec %f
Icon=system-file-manager
----------------

Contrary to what I expected, no action is available in the Device Notifier. Is 
the problem with the predicate? I tried the predicate using PyKDE and for that 
it works fine.

Is something in Device Notifier ignoring SerialInterfaces?

Does KDE needs to be restarted to pick up the serial.desktop files?

Thanks in advance,
Markus
