XnView Software

Posted: **Sat Dec 17, 2022 11:38 pm**

I was looking at the KDE Dolphin Servicemenu documentation here:

https://develop.kde.org/docs/extend/dol ... ice-menus/

and I was trying to figure out how to add a context menu (servicemenu) option where if you right-click on a folder, under the "Actions" you could open the folder in XnView. However, I was not able to figure it out. I think it would involve sending a command to XnView on the command line, but I'm not sure what the command would be.

Has anyone already figured out how to do this?

It looks like it was just a matter of creating a file called "open_in_xnview.desktop" in

Code: Select all

/usr/share/kio/servicemenus

with this:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
MimeType=inode/directory;
Actions=openInXnView

[Desktop Action openInXnView]
Name=Open In XnView
Icon=app-xnsoft-48
Exec=xnview '%u'

It works, but I haven't been able to get the Icon to appear in the context menu.
