[Okular-devel] Need help adding an action to Menubar - New to KDE libs

[Brian K]

Hi,
Where you need to go to add the actions depends on what exactly you are 
intending. The Okular program that you use directly is a shell, which 
uses a kpart, a kind of plugin, to do most of the work. So if your 
action is specific to Okular, but not the plugin, you would add it to 
the shell (shell.h, shell.cpp, shell.rc). If on the other hand the 
action would go in the kpart (plugin) then you would want to modify 
(part.cpp, part.h, part.rc).

The reason you've likely been unable to add is that Okular, and the 
kpart plugin use kxmlgui:

What that means is that you have to modify both the c++ file and a 
second rc file that defines the menu. The techbase tutorial looks pretty 
good on basic kpart usage if you're looking for somewhere to start:

Good luck,
Brian
