# dolphin_servicemenus

Right-Click Utilities for KDE Dolphin service menus. These files add new actions to the right-click menu's for Dolphin file explorer. These commands simply pass the file or folder as an argument to common utilities to solve various common tasks.

See Docs: https://develop.kde.org/docs/apps/dolphin/service-menus/

## How to install:

 1. Place the `.desktop` extensions you want into: `/usr/share/kio/servicemenus/`

 2. May need to make file executable: `chmod +x .desktop`

 3. Ensure the dependency for each command used is installed for your distro (eg: `pacman -S imagemagic` on arch)

 4. Changes should show immediately. If not; restart dolphin.

 

## Service Menus:

 * `convertImage.desktop`

    * action: Convert Image to JPEG (new file)

    * action: Convert Image to PNG (new file)

    * dependency: **imagemagic**

 * `convertVideo.desktop`

    * action: Convert to GIF (new file)

    * action: Convert to MVK (new file)

    * action: Convert to MOV (new file)

    * action: Convert to MP4 (new file)

    * dependency: **ffmpeg**

* `exifTool.deskstop`

    * action: View Exif Data (opens terminal)

        * Note: Terminal launch expects konsole as default. You may have to replace the command for your prefered terminal.

    * action: Remove Exif Data (new file + rename file _original)

    * dependency: **ExifTool**

    * Note: ExifTool supports many filetypes: https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html

 * `checksum.deskstop`

    * action: md5sum (terminal)

    * action: sha1sum (terminal)

    * action: sha256sum (terminal)

    * dependencies: **md5sum sha1sum sha256sum**

        * likely already installed by many distros

 

## Tips:

You can add your own entries to extend or customize the arguments passed to the utilities.

To view output from the terminal without the terminal automatically closing, we can pass `--noclose`:

`konsole --noclose -e `
