SUMMARY It's impossible to use dolphin services installed from KDE Store because they are not listed in Dolphin settings. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. open dolphin, "settings" menu > "Configure Dolphin..." > "Services" section 2. click "Download new services" button 3. install some service and close GHNS window OBSERVED RESULT The service was apparently installed correctly (it's listed when you click "Installed" radio button in GHNS window) but you can not use it because it's not listed in "Service" section of Dolphin settings. EXPECTED RESULT The service just installed is available in "Services" section of Dolphin settings. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Sistema operacional: Arch Linux Versão do KDE Plasma: 5.15.2 Versão do KDE Frameworks: 5.55.0 Versão da Qt: 5.12.1
Individual Dolphin services may fail to install due to mistakes in their own installation scripts. Please name a few Dolphin services that don't work as expected.
(In reply to Alexander Potashev from comment #1) > Please name a few Dolphin services that don't work as > expected. Set as Wallpaper and Dolphin Folder Color services. They are listed under "Installed" section of GHNS window but they are not avaialable to selection in "Services" section of Dolphin settings. Also I get an error message after the installation, as we can see in the attached screenshot. Tested on Neon unstable edition. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60.0 Qt Version: 5.12.3

(In reply to Patrick Silva from comment #3) > Created attachment 120984 [details] > screenshot showing the error message Could be anything. Please run dolphin from shell (e.g. konsole), the kdialog notification will come in couple with a more specific error message on the command line.
I get no error when I install services with Dolphin 19.08 RC on Arch Linux, but I get the same plasma notification and the following error message in Konsole when I unsinstall a service: "Failed to remove .desktop file /home/myusername/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/SetAsWallpaper.desktop: No such file or directory" org.kde.knewstuff.core: Command failed "servicemenuinstaller uninstall /home/myusername/.local/share/servicemenu-download//SetAsWallpaper.desktop" When I click on "Download new services..." button, I get this: "org.kde.knewstuff.core: Using a deprecated location for the knsrc file "servicemenu.knsrc" - please contact the author of the software which provides this file to get it updated to use the new location" Now I can install some services (Set as Wallpaper and Rotate images, for example) and they are available in Dolphin settings. However "Dolphin folder color" service is still not available in Dolphin's settings despite it is listed in "Installed" section of GHNS window. Konsole shown no error message during the installation of "Dolphin folder color" service. Furthermore, now I have two "Actions" entries in Dolphin's context menu when I right click on a picture.
Well, I installed and uninstalled the same services again and now plasma does not shown an error messsage anymore. And I noticed that uninstalled services are not immediatelly removed from "Services" section in Dolphin settings when they are uninstalled. The list of services only is updated when you reopen Dolphin settings.
This bug persists. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420312#c14
"Dolphin Folder Color" has an invalid install script, see the comments of https://store.kde.org/p/998453/. We should exclude this from the KDE Store. And the SetAsWallpaper one works for me. Also a bit of work has been done on the dolphin KNS installer, please check if that improves anything :-)
Tested these services on neon unstable: Set as Wallpaper KDE Services KDE 5 Service Menu ReImage getMediaInfo Autoversion Simple send as Attachment with Kmail Mediainfo Service Menu Mediainfo Service Menu and Set as Wallpaper are the only ones successfully installed, but Mediainfo Service Menu is not listed in Services section of Dolphin settings. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2
> KDE 5 Service Menu ReImage I have contacted the author https://store.kde.org/p/1231579/. >KDE Services I have contacted the author and also proposed some other changes to improve the plugin https://store.kde.org/p/998464/ >getMediaInfo The old plugin is excluded and I uploaded a working fork (Mediainfo Service Menu) and you confirmed that this one is working fine >Autoversion That is a KDE4 plugin and will be excluded >Simple send as Attachment with Kmail That is a KDE4 plugin and will be excluded
Please note that most of the issues are caused by the plugin you want to install and KDE can't fix those. We can only ping the author about the problem or exclude it if it is unmaintained anyway.

Do you have the "mediainfo" package as in the description requested installed?

I have installed mediainfo package and reinstalled the addon. Now the addon is present in "Services" section of Dolphin settings as expected. :)
