I have several custom service menus installed and they are in seemingly random order in the context menu.
Is there a way to change the order of the service menus?

For example, I have something like this at the moment:


I would like to group the deadbeef entries and sort the rest by name.

The Service Menus are following the Desktop Entry Specification: http://standards.freedesktop.org/deskto ... ec/latest/

There can be the 'InitialPreference' key: http://standards.freedesktop.org/deskto ... t/apb.html

Before:



Adding to the desktop files:

Show Me MediaInfo: 'InitialPreference=10'
MultiMedia Concat: 'InitialPreference=9'
ScreenGen: 'InitialPreference=8'

After:

I've tried adding that, but the order did not change.
The two desktop files are as following:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=deadbeef
InitialPreference=10
Actions=Enqueue
X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,audio/*,application/ogg;audio/x-vorbis+ogg;application/x-ogg;

[Desktop Action Enqueue]
Exec=deadbeef --queue %F
Icon=deadbeef
Name=Enqueue in DeaDBeeF

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
Encoding=UTF-8
InitialPreference=9
Actions=Rename;
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,all/allfiles,inode/directory,inode/directory-locked

[Desktop Action Rename]
Exec=wine /mnt/windata/Program\\ Files/ReNamer/ReNamer.exe %F
Name=Rename with ReNamer...


Still, the rename entry is showing up above the enqueue one.

Actually, it seems like all TopLevel entries will show up at the bottom, after the non-TopLevel ones.

Are you using the non released/git version of the Dolphin or the released version ?

At here:

:~$ dolphin -v
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.8
Dolphin: 15.04.0

It's the same as yours. I tried using the unreleased git version, but the service menus never showed up even though I've put them to ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ so I gave up and rolled back to stable.
