Secure-Delete via Service Menu

Thu May 07, 2020 6:49 pm
Can anyone tell me how to add a new routine to the Dolphin Service Menu or point me to a tutorial? I have looked all over and come up empty for KDE5. Within Dolphin>configure dolphin>Services>Download New Services I get a list of services to install but see no way to load one for others to use. There is a list of services that only work with KDE4 and should be removed. That's another matter. I did put my routines for Secure-Delete out on https://www.opencode.net/blue-bullet/Secure-Delete-Servicemenu-kde5/tree/master and https://github.com/blue-bullet/Secure-Delete-Servicemenu-kde5, but it would be nice to make it available right from Dolphin facilities. It should not be so elusive in my opinion.

Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Thanks. I had a look. That's all KDE4 stuff. That may not apply to KDE5.

Sorry, my bad, I didn't even read the page , but I am not a developer either.
Anyway, the Techbase and Community wikis are the resources for all things development, searching there should yield some results. Maybe start here: https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tu ... troduction

Thanks. That link is full of caveats on many pages:
Code: Select all
Warning
This page needs a review and probably holds information that needs to be fixed.
Parts to be reviewed:

Port to KF5


I think a lot of documentation work is yet to be done on the move from KDE4 to KDE5, often a thankless task.

I asked some friendly Devs who had a look at it, try now: https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tu ... vice_Menus

Wow. Thank you for the link to the updated, very well written documentation. Someone went out of their way to provide additional explanations. Well done.

Hello,

I am a user and use KDE neon on my Notebook.

Why is this tool not in Discover?
I would like to use it. Please add. KDE developers can you fix it? Thanks.
