Description Janet 2006-08-20 20:40:04 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

It would be nice to be able to edit/delete the default entries in the pop-up window that opens when a new device is plugged in (e.g. I never need that Digikam upload). Meanwhile I have found out that those default options are entries in the system wide konq servicemenu directory and thus cannot be edited by a user - but it should be possible to copy those servicemenu entry to the appropriate user directory automatically when the user wants to look at the command behind the entry and/or edit it. So the user also could edit the entry to *not* be shown on certain media types. By now I have tried to copy the file manually to my home directory (servicemenus) and modify its content with a text editor but it is ignored so I am forced to edit the entry in the system wide directory.

I would expect to also be able to edit (or at least view the command behind) the default entries, to delete the ones I don't need and maybe even to sort them without having to touch the .desktop-files in the servicemenu directory at all, especially not in the systemwide directory. But if that should not be possible I would at least expect those .desktop-files to follow the behaviour of the other servicemenu .desktop-files which means: when there is a .desktop-file with the same name in the user- and in the systemwide servicemenu directory the user-servicemenu is shown and not the system-servicemenu.

Sorting of the entries would be nice so I could replace that first place "open new window" with the more comfortable "open system folder". And I could translate the english digikam entry to my language when the default entries would be "overwritable" with user settings.

Maybe for the kcontrol integration there could be added a root mode (like other modules have) which allows the editing of those actions?

Not sure we'll be doing this, sorry. The items are pretty benign and there aren't very many of them. Just ignore them. :)
