I've recently started using Kubuntu 8.04 instead of Mandriva 2008.1 and was
surprised to find Dolphin and I've gotten to like it. But there were a
couple of features I was used to in Mandriva's Konqueror that I missed:
1 - when I right clicked on a postscript file, the Action menu had an option
to convert a ps file to a pdf file.
2 - when I right clicked on a .jpg file, the Action menu had three "Kim"
options to convert, resize, etc. graphic files.
I was able to find and download "Kim"< http://bouveyron.free.fr/kim/> and
the "Kim" options appeared in Konqueror but not Dolphin. I was able to add
both features as follows:
Dolphin and Konqueror menus are created by .desktop files:
Dolphin's are found in /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/
Konqueror's are found in /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
After I installed kim the following three were added to Konqueror:
kim_compressandresize.desktop
kim_convertandrotate.desktop
kim_publication.desktop
I copied them to Dolphin (/usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus/)
I also copied the following three from Mandriva 2008.1 to both Dolphin and
Konqueror:
convertpdftops.desktop
convertpdftotxt.desktop
convertpstopdf.desktop
To eliminate redundancies, I removed the following from Dolphin:
imageconverter.desktop
jpegorient.desktop
Now I'm enjoying Dophin.
