Forget my above request... I already asked for a new feature at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319112 hope some one give it some interest.

Hi Everyone,

Nice program, except the install. I am using Linux Mint KDE 17.1 and 17.2, which I love.

I had a heck of a time installing this. You would think there would be an easier method for editing or creating the right-click menu items that you see and use when using the "Dolphin" file manager.

I installed all the python stuff (suggested requirements), edited the install script as also suggested (if needed), no errors during install, it still did not work, could not find "ui" files. I ended up as one user did, copying the extracted "kservicemenueditor" folder to various folders, and it now works.

Here is exactly what I did: I renamed the extracted folder to "Kservicemenueditor", made an exact copy of this folder to a folder called "servicemenueditor". I ran "kde4-config --path data" to find the folders on my system that this (apps) needs to go to, and it spat out (showed) 3 different folders, separated by colons ":".
/home/phil/.kde/share/apps/:/usr/share/mintkde-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/apps/:/usr/share/kde4/apps/

/home/phil/.kde/share/apps/
/usr/share/mintkde-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/apps/
/usr/share/kde4/apps/


I then copied the "servicemenueditor" and "Kservicemenueditor" folders to each of these folders, and it now works. I probably only needed the "servicemenueditor" folder, and probably only needed to copy to one of the 3 folders, but since I did not have any more information, this is what I did ...

Then, I found this article: which I have not yet reviewed and studied.
"How to add new items in the context menu -> Create New"

Update 12-02-2015 10:36pm us eastern:
After reading the link above and the link below from that:
https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Creating_Konqueror_Service_Menus

Creating new servicemenus is very simple, requiring nothing more than an idea and a text editor. You don't have to be a programmer or a KDE wizard to make them... By the end of this tutorial you should be able to create your own servicemenus with ease.

Where the Servicemenus are Located
kde4-config --path services
/home/phil/.kde/share/kde4/services/:/usr/share/kde4/services/
/home/phil/.kde/share/kde4/services/
/usr/share/kde4/services/
