Created attachment 110360 [details] Service menu for file only rename I installed krename 4.0.9 on a new install of Kubuntu 17.10. There are no service menus included with this release. I'd like to have the option to right click on files and rename them. I copied the old service menus from an old Kubuntu 14.04 install and they work as expected. The missing files are attached.

Hmm, https://packages.ubuntu.com/artful/amd64/krename/filelist shows me ... /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/krename_all_nonrec.desktop /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/krename_dir_rec.desktop ... So I'm not sure what's wrong there. Perhaps some runtime component is missing with the general move to KF5/Qt5. If you're willing to compile krename yourself, you can also test the beta version of the upcoming v5: https://download.kde.org/unstable/krename/4.90.90/krename-4.90.90.tar.xz
The service menus are in the wrong place, at least for Kubuntu and KDE 5. That folder is for KDE 4. I do indeed have the service menus in /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus but they need to be in /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus for them to work. I moved my service menus out of the kservices5 folder and Krename did not show up in dolphin under Actions after right-clicking. I moved them back and it re-appeared. So I guess my bug report should read to put them in /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus.

Will be fixed in 5.0.0, which is ported to Qt5/KF5 and will be released as soon as more mirrors have synced. If you want to build from source until your distro picks it up: https://userbase.kde.org/KRename#Build_from_source
Thanks, Heiko!
