Yey, The term "service menus" drew me toward an answer , however, after realizing that the info found was for kde3/konquerer [1], then finding kde4/konquerer, kde3/dolphin, kde3d3lphin, kde4dolphin differing paths, and differing .desktop file contents required, I have exhausted my patience. Eg: [2] Let's say I create a file called tnefextract.desktop containing: ===== [Desktop Entry] Type=service X-KDE-ServiceTypes=application/vnd.ms-tnef Actions=tnefExtractToSubfolder; [Desktop Action tnefExtractToSubfolder] Name=extract TNEF archive Icon=application-x-archive Exec=tnef.sh %f ===== and place that in: /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ along with two other .desktop files, and they seem to have the same format as the above. What else is required (on Fedora) to actually make the association work ? DaveT.
