Dear all,
I am sorry that I do not know if what I want to do need to modify the
source code and I do not know whether
I should post here. Could you kindly forward to the correct mailing
list if I am wrong here. Thanks.
When opening the Konqueror, I would like to do:
1 a). select a file, or
1 b). select a list of files/directories
2) right-click them, a right-click menu is shown with some options.
e.g. for *.tgz there are options "Archiver", "Preview with Archiver",
"Extract here"
I want to add myself a new option "zip to ..." and submenu will be
"<filename>.zip" and "new zip".
3) after choosing "<filename>.zip", I want the file/ collections of
files and directories zipped and then opened
with Archiver
Difficulites:
i) I can add my own new option "myoption" associated with some files
extension;
it is in /usr/share/konqueror/servicemenus/ add a file
myoptionservicemenu.desktop;
But actually I want all types of files can be zipped.
When I tried:
[Desktop Entry]
ServiceTypes=all/all,all/allfiles
I can not do what I want.
ii)How can I add my own option on the right-click menu when user selectd
a list of files/directories instead of one file?
iii) I can now create a new option when 1 file is selected and
right-clicked; how can I create a submenu
zip -> gzip
-> unzip
first create "zip" and further user can select whether use gzip or
unzip (for example)?
iv) to compress the selected files and directories; since I will
further call ark to open the zip file;
I will write my own script to do 2 things, zip them and call ark to
open the zip file.
So, I need to pass the names of the files and directories into my
script, any idea?
I have searched for a while but can not get the answer, hope anybody
could help. I want to know if I need to modify the source code?
Thanks very much.
Leanne
