I am trying to create my first add-on to konqueror. Using existing service menu ".desktop" files, I was able to create a simple service menu to display the id3 tags of a MP3 file.
Two problems: First I was able to make it an action. I think I would like to make it a preview, not action (action to me implies altering the file).
Second, I would much rather it appear as a tab on the properties for the file.
I looked at the KDE homepage, under "Develop". I found guides for embedding applications into konqueror, but not a description of .desktop files, and creating menu items.
So the questions are: Can I create a plug in for file properties? And where is the documentation for .desktop files?
IIUC, a plugin for Konqueror needs to be an executable KPart program. There is also a KPart to run Netscape PlugIns.
The actual documentation for Desktop files is here:
http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec
Also, read existing files that are similar to what you want to do, to see how it works.
