improving usability by saving clicks when searching files can be done easily. The current procedures to FIND files & folders have poor usability because: - it takes too many clicks, compared to KDIND via right-click serviceMenu - mixing GNOME / gtk (angrySearch and such wares) with KDE apps is always a poor idea in terms of usability - those gnome search tools are far, far slower to load than KFIND - those gnome search tools hardly offer any features on top of KFIND - having so many FIND alternatives is confusing and counterproductive for effiency, we want one simple, good solution, whichh is KFIND, period solution: get rid of all current FIND business (at least remove from toolbar by default) and replace it with a standard kfind.desktop file activated by right-click like this: [Desktop Entry] # place this at subdir: /home/YOURSELF/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ Type=Service X-KDE-ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,inode/directory X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel Actions=kfindhere; Comment=KFind from here, very handy ! path is being preset [Desktop Action kfindhere] Name=KFind Files or Folders Name[es]=Buscar archivos/carpetas Icon=kfind Exec=kfind %u
oh, I forgot: - current dolphin-FIND is notoriously unreliable, if it works at all on major distros, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395016
Resetting developer field "Alias".
[Desktop Entry] # place this at subdir: /home/YOURSELF/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ kate: byte-order-marker off; # this line avoids some bad trouble, it makes sense to have it in all .desktop files because byte-DONOTDOTHIS-order-marker _o_n_; will break the dtop file Type=Service X-KDE-ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,inode/directory X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel Actions=kfindhere; Comment=KFind from here, very handy ! path is being preset [Desktop Action kfindhere] Name=KFind Files or Folders Name[es]=Buscar archivos/carpetas Icon=kfind Exec=kfind %u
