With the default plugin settings, there will also be another "Actions" sub-menu. We'll definitely want to move the Bluetooth and KDE Connect plugins into Purpose.
  
  
  That leaves the question of how to deal with the double entries. One could totally remove the FileItemActionPlugins from KDE Connect and Bluedevil, which would break things for users that don't have Purpose installed. For Dolphin this can be solved by requiring Purpose. Are there other applications that use (not provide) FileItemActionPlugins? Alternatively one could hide a subset of FIAPs when purpose is detected.

  I thought about that, but I'll leave the decision to #dolphin <https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/dolphin/> maintainers.
  
  First I thought that Purpose might completely replace FIAPs, but that's not a good idea because some FIAPs like Ark's don't fit well into the "Share" terminology
