Description Daimonion 2012-02-17 09:40:35 UTC
Version:           0.3 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

ktp-send-file.desktop is installed in $PREFIX/share/applications/kde4, therefore displaying it in the menu, under the Lost&Found. It should be installed in $PREFIX/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus, as it is a service menu.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Just compile and install ktp-send-file package.

Actual Results:  
ktp-send-file.desktop is installed in $PREFIX/share/applications/kde4

Expected Results:  
ktp-send-file.desktop should be installed in $PREFIX/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus

Proposed fix:

Top-level CMakeLists.txt file, line 53:

 install(FILES ktp-send-file.desktop DESTINATION ${XDG_APPS_INSTALL_DIR})

should look something like this:

 install(FILES ktp-send-file.desktop DESTINATION ${SERVICES_INSTALL_DIR}/ServiceMenus)
Comment 1 David Edmundson 2012-02-18 13:19:02 UTC
Thanks.

It's not /just/ a service menu entry, if you launch it by hand, you get prompted for a file.

We could alternately specify the network folder so it appears in the start menu correctly instead of lost+found...or we could not have it in the menu at all and be a service menu only which means making the change above.

I'm not sure. Has anyone ever wanted to launch ktp-send-file from the start menu?
Comment 2 Daimonion 2012-02-18 13:26:07 UTC
ktp-send-file.desktop *is* a service menu file, it's place is in the (/usr/share/)kde4/services/ServiceMenus directory. If I launch it from the menu I get nothing. If you want to add posibility for a user to launch ktp-send-file from the menu, you should add another file (which is not of type "service") to the (/usr/share/)applications directory.
