Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This app is a System Settings module to manage service menus. The module can install and remove service menus from local files and the internet (KNewStuff).
--------------------------------------
In the downloads section you can find prepared service menus. The advantage of this files is, that they show you more meta informations about the service menus (see picture 3). But of course the normal downloads of the service menus work, too.
--------------------------------------
Installation:
cmake ./
make
make install (as root)
Note: If cmake install the kde files in a wrong directory use :
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=KDEPREFIX
Your can find out the KDEPREFIX with the command kde-config --prefix
E.g.
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
Create a Debian/Ubuntu package:
fakeroot debian/rules binary
--------------------------------------
Known problems:
Tar-archives with no root-directory do not work (E.g. secure delete servicemenu)
--------------------------------------
Attention: Version 0.3 and 0.4 are not compatible. If you install the new version, the old service menus will still work, but you are not able to see them in this systemsettings module. To see them again, you have to reinstall the service menus.

1) click on "install" for a service menu in the list of "get service menus" and close the list window. In the main list, appears the new service menu.
2) now click on the service menu item in main list and click the "remove service menu" button.
3)the item is correctly removed from main list, but if you open again the list by clicking "get new services menu", the service menus you've just removed from your main list results again installed.
Other problem: some menu file installed from "get new services menu", isn't installed correctly. Example: "Compress and Attach" servicemenus. What is the correct structure of the archive recognized by your program?

BTW, application name and comment dialog on main System Settings interface are not translated. Can you fix this behaviour and also would you mind to include .pot file in soruce archive?

Although I'm having one little problem.
You see I didn't do all the cmake-make-makeinstall-stepps. I just klicked the .deb and kinda let it handle it self (and that's probably why I'm having problems), and now, when I install service menus from the net or manually select them for installation, it puts some files in /home/'user'/bin instead of in /usr/bin (where they are supposed to be).
So now I've got to manually cut n' paste every time I install something new. Cutting and pasting isn't really such a hassle but it bothers me that it doesn't work as it should.
Is there any way around that?

But as soon as KDE4 has the admin mode included I will add an option to install the service menus to the system paths.

Have you run cmake in the right directory (servicemenu not servicemenu/src)?
Maybe it helps if you install automake1.9.

When I install a service menu through this, it does not install in the servicemenu folder.
I am looking at /home/david/.kde4/share/kde4/services and there is not even a servicemenu folder.
When i look at the info button on the servicemenu app, it says that the .desktop files should be there.

The problem is fixed for me, but maybe you might have it add the directory if it does not yet exist?

I'm on Kubuntu 8.10 with KDE4.2 Beta.
Compiling went good, however I had to manually edit two lines in the CMakeCache.txt (lines 639 and 716) since cmake gave me some error output about wrong directories. By changing username and directory path there all were OK.
Servicemenus installation went OK, but actually I can't see them displayed on the Service Menu Manager window so that removing/info diplaying is impossible.
Neither the Get New Themes (serivce menu) appears to work for me.

thanks for your feedback. In the version 0.1.2 this two problems should be fixed.

The get from the web thing is still not working, but maybe this depends by something else I guess.
Again: very good job!
