Hey all, I'm trying to develop an plugin to complete certain actions when opening a file on a per-file basis, and to my understanding this is currently not possible as a part of Dolphin. Would there be interest in extending the current plugins system to call an service during a file open (double-click file) event? Would there be any objection if I started working on a PR for it? Thanks!
Hi, what exactly do you want to do and what is currently missing?
(In reply to Elvis Angelaccio from comment #1) > Hi, what exactly do you want to do and what is currently missing? Sorry if I wasn't too clear. When opening a file in Dolphin I'd like to have my extension check some attributes of the file and open a specific program based on those attributes. Similar to what is done for file types now, but on a per-file basis. As far as I know this can't be currently done, is that correct?
That's correct, but I'm not sure if this can be done at all. Feel free to submit a patch if you like :)
I'll treat this report as a wish. It'd be nice to have this feature, but it's not a deal breaker for most users. If you want to submit a patch, please do so over at phabricator.kde.org.
