In the previous version of Krusader items from /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus would show up in the appropriate right click menu's in Krusader, like an extra category "Actions", etc. In plasma 5 the new location for this is /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus but Krusader doesn't show any of those since the port to plasma 5 was completed with the 2.5.0 version. The items do show up in Dolphin. This removes a lot of functionality from Krusader.
Right now Krusader does currently show only 'Compress' and 'Extract' service menus for archives. The problem is that the new services are linked with Dolphin. A configuration dialog in Dolphin settings belongs to it for de/activating each service and installing new ones. And services like "Git" won't show the file status in Krusader. Maybe statically adding specific services is enough. What do you miss?
Before, as I said before, all desktop files /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus would automatically show up in Krusader. Besides some system right click services, there was an actions entry where I had added some of my own right click actions, and I had some for jpg files so I could run custom actions on them. Are we talking about the same, i.e. right click on a certain file and then do some action, other then open? How would I add services statically? No problem if I have to apply a workaround, although I think an important feature is missing now and I have to use dolphin for those actions right now.
> Are we talking about the same, i.e. right click on a certain file and then do some action, other then open? There are different types of "Services". This is what I have installed: > $ls /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus > dragonplayer_play_dvd.desktop installfont.desktop konsolehere.desktop konsolerun.desktop slideshow.desktop These are some of the services listed in Dolphin but not all (they all have "X-KDE-ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin" as type). You are referring only to these, right? Sorry I have to ask three times but KDE services and plugins and what changed between KDE4 and 5 is new to me. We could simply add all plugins with this type (filter by KPluginMetaData::serviceTypes()). [ Other Dolphin services are installed in "/usr/share/kservices5/" with other types - e.g. "ServiceTypes=KFileItemAction/Plugin" or "X-KDE-ServiceTypes=FileViewVersionControlPlugin". And only "Ark"s "compress and "extract" services are installed in "/usr/lib/qt/plugins/kf5/kfileitemaction" to make finding them not too easy:) ] And not meant as a solution, but FYI, you can always add custom actions via Krusader's Useractions. I find this easier than creating own *.desktop files.

I have many more, and some of my own. It would be great if that could work in Krusader!

That way I can create one and it always works. But I still have also some useractions added to krusader
Git commit 5c6059fbd30365dbd036db556a38019fd7a84872 by Alexander Bikadorov. Committed on 16/11/2016 at 15:39. Pushed by abikadorov into branch 'master'. FIXED: [ 372231 ] Added KDE's service actions again to right-click popup menu KFileItemActions::addServiceActionsTo() is not deprecated so we should continue using it like before. M +8 -14 krusader/Panel/krpopupmenu.cpp M +1 -1 krusader/Panel/krpopupmenu.h http://commits.kde.org/krusader/5c6059fbd30365dbd036db556a38019fd7a84872
One caveat remains: In Dolphin Settings->Services you one can dis-/enable service entries and this will also affect Krudader's popup menu. The best solution would be to add an "ignoreConfig" flag to KFileItemActions::addServiceActionsTo()... we have to patch Frameworks.
