Description: A service menu to secure delete your files and folder. This service menu is a simple frontend of only some options of srm in the package secure-delete, http://www.thc.org, see man:srm for more options. Be careful, secure deletion (very slow and very secure) overwrite your files 38 times and can take a long time.
--------- REQUIREMENTS: secure-delete, http://www.thc.org. To install secure-delete in (k)ubuntu gutsy just enable universe repository and type in a console sudo apt-get install secure-delete.
--------- INSTALLATION - kde4: Just extract and run ./install.sh.
--------- INSTALLATION - kde3: 1) Extract the downloaded file "secure_delete_servicemenu.tar.gz". 2) Copy the files "secure_delete.desktop" and "secure_delete_folder.desktop" in the servicemenus folder of konqueror or dolphin, for example:/home/vanbosco/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenusLast changelog:
Version 0.3 - kde4 version - 20/04/2009 - this version should work with kde4, tested on Sidux and kde 4.2.2. - added a simple installation script. - added a scrip to check file/folder ownership to prevent the error message "kdialog not found".
Version 0.2 - minor update - 01/03/2008 - added "Delete only" option (very fast using rm), since in the version of Kubuntu Gutsy of dolphin this option is missing and sometimes move to trash a large number of files and folder is very slow. - added window title. Version 0.1 - First release - 22/02/2008

add path french language and for kde4
Hello.
install.sh doesn't work in Kubuntu with Kde 4.3 because ~/bin isn't a valid path.
$ kde4-config --path exe
/home/my_user/.kde/lib/kde4/libexec/:/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/:/usr/bin/
I have copied the .sh scripts directly to /usr/bin everything worked.
By the way, the path for services are:
$ kde4-config --path services
/home/my_user/.kde/share/kde4/services/:/usr/share/kde4/services/
Need securete-delete installed:
$ sudo apt-get install secure-delete
Thanks!
It appears that the path to the "servicemenu" has changed as specified in your installation text. Also, I'm really more interested in Dolphin not Konqueror. I have installed the 'THC SecureDelete 3.1.4' from the 'Package Manager' in Kubuntu 8.10, and the 'SercureDelete Servicemenu' was obtained from this site. That said, how do I proceed to get this working? I have place a "servicemenu" folder in Dolphin and Konqueror, re-booted w/o results. I've gone about as far as I can on my own.
In my system this service menu (and also others service menus) don't work with dolphin in 'system:/home/', where i get the 'kdialog not found' message even if i own the file, but works fine in '/home/vanbosco/' instead.
Perhaps this is what is happening to you.

Hi,
I'm using the version 0.2 on my OpenSuse 10.3 x64.When I try to delete files secure I become the message that 'kdialog' wasn't found. When I type
which kdialog
/opt/kde3/bin/kdialog
and
whereis kdialog
kdialog: /usr/bin/kdialog /usr/bin/X11/kdialog /opt/kde3/bin/kdialog
I've tried to edit the *.desktop files manualy.I've changed 'kdialog' to '/opt/kde3/bin/kdialog' and '/usr/bin/kdialog' but without success.Can you help me ?
Hi spikyatlinux, i get that error when i try to delete a file that i don't own.
In next version i'm planning to write a script to check ownership of files/folder and eventually display a warming message.

I can't test if it works or not with kde4 but the correct path to place your service menus is: ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus. vanbosco.
It works correctly in Konqueror but I get the 'kdialog not found' with k3lphin.
In my system this service menu (and also others service menus) don't work with dolphin in 'system:/home/', where i get the 'kdialog not found' message even if i own the file, but works fine in '/home/vanbosco/' instead. Perhaps this is what is happening to you. vanbosco.

I get kdialog not found when I try to delete any file, even if I own it. Mike
Hi, Mike. Are sure that the package secure-delete is installed?
