Description Jonathan Farley 2012-01-27 13:02:12 UTC
Version:           2.6
OS:                Linux

At present, it is not possible to access the 'Actions' menu through the context menu of Gwenview. The Actions' menu provides access to KDE services in Dolphin and Konqueror. These services can downloaded by the user or, on provision of a .desktop file in the ~/kde4/user/share/services folder allow access to user written shellscripts. 


Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  

For example: 

I have written a shellscript which will extract gps data from an image's exif data, load firefox and pass the url request to locate pinpoint the gps data on google maps. - it would be helpful to have access to this through the context menu of Gwenview as well as Konqueror and Dolphin. 

I have a further seven or eight shellscripts which would also be useful to access through the context menu in Gwenview

Ooh, nice idea. We might be able to also leverage the new Purpose framework for this.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2020-04-25 22:06:50 UTC
Done now with Purpose. See the new share item in the toolbar.

Neat, but not what I was asking for:

I was asking for the ability to use custom scripts within Gwenview, so being able to access what would be the same as the 'actions' menu in Dolphin, is what I was after, not using the same 'share' protocols as Dolphin.

In dolphin, by placing a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/Kservices5/ServiceMenu/ you can pass parameters to and run any script or application you wish to achieve any purpose you desire. It was being able to utilise this same process in Gwenview that I was hoping for.
