[kde-linux] Service menu like "Copy To >"?

[Timothee Groleau]

Hi Jeff, 

Thanks for the urls, I had checked them before actually and re-reading them, 
I'm pretty sure what I want to do cannot be achieved with a simple service 
menu :(. 

I downloaded the sources for kdeaddons/kuick to take a look at how the "Copy  
to" and "Move to" menus were implemented. They are actually built in C++ as a 
konqueror plugin. So I'll check from there whether I can modify these to add 
the new entry I need.

Tim.
