dolphin_servicemenus

Right-Click Utilities for KDE Dolphin service menus. These files add new actions to the right-click menu's for Dolphin file explorer. These commands simply pass the file or folder as an argument to common utilities to solve various common tasks.

See Docs: https://develop.kde.org/docs/apps/dolphin/service-menus/

How to install:

1. Place the .desktop extensions you want into: /usr/share/kio/servicemenus/
2. May need to make file executable: chmod +x <menu>.desktop
3. Ensure the dependency for each command used is installed for your distro (eg: pacman -S imagemagic on arch)
4. Changes should show immediately. If not; restart dolphin.
