Maybe you want to use my menu files? I have added German translation and use icon names of KDE4.

I've fixed the service menu icons for the kim package in Mandriva, the patches are available in SVN:
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/kim/current/SOURCES/

all the icons are from the oxygen-icon-theme in KDE4 (specifically 4.3.85). I hope you'll merge them.

Thanks.

I solved it with a

test -n "$HOST" || HOST="`hostname`"; export HOST

before the TMPDIR=...

But yours definitely is shorter :)

here how it works for dummys on kubuntu interpid ibex:

just install the package konq-kim with adept or type in your command line "sudo apt-get install konq-kim"

then execute as root my modified shell script wich you can download here:
http://share-now.net/files/157517-kim-kubuntu8-10.sh.html

It should be Working now...

_____________________________________________
If you dont know how to execute a shell script as root:
first copy the script to any directory, go to the directory in a comandline(konsole usually) and type: "sudo ./kim-kubuntu8-10.sh"

if this is not working open the dir. with Dolphin or Konqueror,> right click on the file> Properties >Permissions > is executable.... now try to execute it again like I did explain above...

I had to do the following to make it work on kubuntu 8.10 with kde4.2:

Quote:
#!/bin/bash
kdeinstdir=`kde-config --prefix`
kde4instdir=`kde4-config --prefix`
cp $kdeinstdir/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/* $kde4instdir/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/
cd ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/
sed -i "s/\[Desktop Entry\]/\[Desktop Entry\]\nType=Service/" *
sed -i "s/ServiceTypes\=/ServiceTypes\=KonqPopupMenu\/Plugin\nMimeType=/" *


Moreover, I had to remove a trailing ";" after "image/*"

Okay, I tried my best to port it.

I didn't try all the scripts, but everybody is wellcome to fix the broken ones. Shouldn't be that hard.

Find the patch and an ebuild for gentoo here:

Please port you app to KDE-4.

This means
1) Dbus instead of DCOP
2) Servicemenue files -> ${KDEDIR}/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus
3) KIM files -> ${KDEDIR}/share/apps/kim
4) Scripts ${KDEDIR}/bin

Most likely KDEDIR="/usr"

And fix the typo: gallery, not galery

Thanks

KDEDIR=`kde4-config --prefix`

In KDE4.1, Dcop is obsolete in favor of DBus.
Accordingly in Kim script, "dcop "$dcopRef" close" does not work and the Kim dialog box remains open.

I use kim under SUSE 11.0 KDE4.1.2
I search some time, before i find the solution.

In KDE4.1.2 the directory for Servicemenu is NOT:
~/.kde4/services/ServiceMenus
IT IS:
~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus

after i copyed the kim*.desktop-Files to this folder, it works for me.

Hi,
KIM was once able to create videos from images. I still have an old version for that reason. Is there anyway you can bring this feature back. I would be more than happy to help where I can.

Thank you for considering this.

I managed to fix the issue with the spaces.

Replace the following lines in /use/bin/kim_resizeandsend :
Quote:
dcop "$dcopRef" setProgress $compteur
case "$choice" in
1) cp $i $TMPDIR;;
2) convert -resize 800x800 "$ATTACHMENTS" "$TMPDIR"/`basename "$ATTACHMENTS"`;;
3) convert -resize 600x600 "$ATTACHMENTS" "$TMPDIR"/`basename "$ATTACHMENTS"`;;
4) convert -resize 300x300 "$ATTACHMENTS" "$TMPDIR"/`basename "$ATTACHMENTS"`;;
*)exit 1;;



with.....
Quote:
dcop "$dcopRef" setProgress $compteur
ATTACHMENTS2=`basename "$ATTACHMENTS"`
case "$choice" in
1) cp $i $TMPDIR;;
2) convert -resize 800x800 "$ATTACHMENTS" "$TMPDIR"/"$ATTACHMENTS2";;
3) convert -resize 600x600 "$ATTACHMENTS" "$TMPDIR"/"$ATTACHMENTS2";;
4) convert -resize 300x300 "$ATTACHMENTS" "$TMPDIR"/"$ATTACHMENTS2";;

Typo: /use/bin/kim_resizeandsend should be /usr/bin/kim_resizeandsend

Although in Kubuntu and other Debian based distro's. Do a 'which kim_resizeandsend' if you can't find it.

The command line utility "baseline" can't handle spaces unfortunately. Please fix these kind of issues. I really don't understand why this has a high rating.

The 'send by mail' function does not allow spaces in the file name :-(. Anybody know how to fix this?

Report

jayenell

To fix the 'send by mail'-issue, that didn't work and what has to do with the fact mktemp can't create the tmp-folder; can be solved as follows:

In konsole:

mkdir $HOME/.kde/tmp-

For me that did the trick. The $HOST doesn't give any output and is skipped.

Hopefully the developers can fix this problem ASAP.

I use Kim 0.94 for Kubuntu (kim-konq package). /usr/bin/multiburst needed some changes to work. The same changes are required in other files (not checked) and in version 0.95 (checked).

line 28: $HOST is not defined.
option 1) replace $HOST with $HOSTNAME
option 2) check and define $HOST before with:
28> test -n "$HOST" || HOST="`hostname`"; export HOST

line 56: wrong location for imagettes: replace:
56> convert -adjoin -delay 5 imagette.*.jpg animation.gif
with
56> convert -adjoin -delay 5 "$KIMDIR"/imagette.*.jpg animation.gif
