AttachToThunderbirdMail.desktop

[pc54g2]

Hi,

anyone has tried successfully this method 'Thunderbird Service Menu
KDE-Look.org'
(http://www.kde-look.org/content/show...&content=19328)
to have the menu "attach to TDB" in KDE4/Dolphin ?

It does not work, even exctracting the files in
~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus (instead of
/usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus which does not exist in openSUSE
11.1) and changing the location of the icon like that :


Code:
--------------------
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
ServiceTypes=all/all
Actions=attachToEmail

[Desktop Action attachToEmail]
Name=Attach to Thunderbird Mail
Name[fr]=Envoyer en piece jointe avec Thunderbird
Icon=/usr/lib/thunderbird/icons/mozicon16.png
Exec=/usr/bin/thunderbird -compose `echo attachment=\'file://%F\' | sed 's/ \//,file/\/\//g'`
--------------------


it is a little bit strange because with this changes, the option
"attach to mail with TDB" appear in the sub-menu "Action" in dolphin,
but only with the file AttachToThunderbirdMail.desktop and, if it
opens a tdb'msg windows, it does not attach the file

thanks for ideas

i haven't thought about this since last summer when i managed to make it
work. so bear with me....

first the desktop file should be extracted to
~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus... then edit what you have to:

ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,all/all

the rest is fine.

KDE4 Dolphin and Konqueror should both have the AttachToThunderbird
selection in the Actions part of the context menu now.

If not (this is the part i'm not sure i had to do) download the script
file to change a servicemenu script from KDE3 to KDE4.. here....
'KDE4-servicemenus KDE-Apps.org' (http://tinyurl.com/djvjdd)

move it to the Home directory root, make sure it's executable (make it
so, if not) and run it from a terminal. That should do the trick.... the
script file is handy to use kde3 servicemenus in kde4, good thing to
have.

The first part does not work.

First, folder ~/.kde4/share/kde4 doesn't exist, I've created it with
subfolders services/ServiceMenus and extracted files into the last one.
I've substitued -ServiceTypes=all/allfiles- with
-ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,all/al-l as you said, but another
problem is that the path
-Icon=*/usr/share/thunderbird/icons/mozicon16.png*- doesn't exist. In
fact :


Code:
--------------------
$locate -i thunderbird | grep -i mozicon16
/usr/lib/thunderbird/icons/mozicon16.xpm
--------------------


so, should we have to replace the path with this one ?

I do it but it does not work, and neither in KDE3

change the line for the icon pointer as you mentioned, then i think we
have to clarify the filesystem location. Seems that you are talking in
terms of starting in root, to be more accurate...
/home/*user*/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus.

that path should exist.

No, sorry, this path does not exist in my system and I had to create it
- that's to say 3 empty subfolders kde4, services and ServiceMenus in
/home/myusername/.kde4/share/ - not as root, but as usual user...

You've got this path ?

it is hidden, and if you are using a gui file manager like
dolphin/konqueror, to see it you have to View/ShowHiddenFiles in the
menubar.

(if you already know this, sorry, i'm just making sure we are on the
same page)

if you don't have this file path i am unsure what is wrong, do you have
ANY /home/*user*/.kde4 folders?

Hi,

yes View/ShowHiddenFile is well ticked in my filemanager,if it wasn't
the case I could'nt see ~/.kde4 and the folder ~/.kde4 exist. It
contains subfolders


Code:
--------------------
Autostart
cache-linux-enr1
env
share
shutdown
socket-linux-enr1
tmp-linux-enr1
--------------------


A little search of the term 'ServiceMenus' gives :


Code:
--------------------
$locate -i ServiceMenus | egrep -v '\.' | sort | uniq
/etc/opt/kde3/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
/opt/kde3/share/apps/dolphin/servicemenus
/opt/kde3/share/apps/k3b/servicemenus
/opt/kde3/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus
--------------------


As I said, I had to create the folder
~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus
