Adding shell script to the servicemenu in konqueror?

[MitraMai]

I have created a small script to use when I watch a movie on my TV. But I would like to add it to the pop- up menu in konqueror. I have gotten so far that I have managed to understand what to do in theory...
This is how it looks like:

WatchAMovie.desktop

[Desktop entry]
Actions=SeFilm.sh
Encoding=UTF-8
ServiceTypes=video/*



[Desktop Action WatchAMovie]
Name=WWatchAMovie
Exec=/bin/sh "home/martin/bin/WatchAMovie"

The script it self works but I can't get the option to show up in the pop-up menu!

Does anyone have an idea?

I might be reading it wrong... but presuming SeFilm.sh is actually the script you're wanting to call and WatchAMovie isn't, it's kinda backwards.

From a quick glance at http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/servicemenus.html it looks like it should be:

WatchAMovie.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Actions=WatchAMovie
Encoding=UTF-8
ServiceTypes=video/*

[Desktop Action WatchAMovie]
Name=Watch a movie
Exec=/bin/sh "home/martin/bin/SeFilm.sh"

... or something like that. If I'm completely wrong feel free to call me an idiot. :)

EDIT: You'd then have to look at passing it the variable for the filename I presume... and handling that arg in your shell script.

Had a play, this all works... basically you right-click on a video file, select actions/test script, it passes the full path and filename to the bash script... which then echos that variable to the file tmp.txt. Hope it's helpful.

mkdir ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus

~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/testScript.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
ServiceTypes=video/*
Actions=runTest

[Desktop Action runTest]
Name=test script
Exec=/home/lashni/test.sh %u

~/test.sh

#!/bin/bash
echo ${1} > tmp.txt

EDIT: Forgot to add, chmod +x the ~/test.sh file... obvious anyway.

Well, well... Seems like I messed up a bit... You're quiet right lashni. Thing is SeFilm.sh is the name of my script, it's WatchAMovie in english. Just forgot to translate that part:) But it was the other part I was interested in. The Actions=runTest (without .sh) and %u. I will test it later in the week.

Thanks in advance

Cool, let us know how it works out. :)
