Input requested: unused Lokalize menu actions (SoK 2026 Project)

[fin-w at tutanota.com]

Good point actually Albert.

Tanish, I checked e.g. file_open_recent and as Albert says, it's visible in the menu when you open Lokalize. I guess some actions are coming from https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kconfigwidgets and so do not need to be defined in Lokalize, they only need to be listed in the XML (.rc) file for them to work?

You are right though that e.g. file_print doesn't seem to exist in the UI, even though this is also defined in KConfigWidgets... I don't understand this discrepancy in how the external actions are handled.
Seems like majority of your actions list are from KConfigWidgets?
I think only these are custom (but missing the definition in Lokalize as well):
- alttrans_attach
- odf2xliff
- showprojectview_action
- tmquery_do

This command might be useful for checking where a commit contains a particular string:
git log -Galttrans_attach

According to git, in https://invent.kde.org/sdk/lokalize/-/commit/0daee3b05ca76dbc896d62ee20017961ece3c80a Nick added alttrans_attach, but it was never used. Safe to remove.
I don't know what I'm looking at with https://invent.kde.org/sdk/lokalize/-/commit/309c4d39c3896490f9c636068a370fa31109dfcc but it seems like a Kross scripting thing, and Kross was decommissioned a few years ago. Safe to remove.

In https://invent.kde.org/sdk/lokalize/-/commit/3eb40b51988e88507a9c14f7b32321f591365f4f Nick added showprojectview_action as well as its implementation in Lokalize's codebase, but the codebase has move on since then. Safe to remove.

I can't tell what tmquery_do is for, it's implemented here https://invent.kde.org/sdk/lokalize/-/commit/eb5d6c5b60c94c6c8b3e9ea3718647bbcc82017e but only mentioned in three commits and never implemented. Safe to remove.
