Description Josef Kufner 2018-05-15 20:47:23 UTC

I have a script to download photos from a SD card and I defined an action on removable storage device, so I can execute it from a "device connected" notification. However, there are another two actions in the menu which have almost the same label as my script and I don't like them. How can I remove them?

As described in the documentation (https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kde-workspace/kcontrol/solid-actions/index.html), the system-provided actions cannot be delited. That makes sense. But I really mis an option to disable them.

Feature request: Please add "Disable"/"Enable" button next to "Add" and "Remove" buttons. It should create a user-specific override which would disable the system-provided action.

Comment 1 Josef Kufner 2018-05-15 20:53:17 UTC

Implementation details: The override can be created simply by a desktop file in ~/.local/share/solid/actions like this:

$ cat ~/.local/share/solid/actions/digikam-opencamera.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
X-KDE-Solid-Predicate=[ false ]
Type=Service
Actions=open;

However, disabling a user-specific action this way will cause loss of the predicate. So it would be much better to introduce a bollean option X-KDE-Solid-Enabled (or something like that).
