I use https://store.kde.org/p/1333385, which is a dolphin service menu for converting a video to webm. Converting a video takes a lot of time. Right now, the output file gets created instantly, but I need to watch `ps aux | ag ffmpeg` to know when it's actually done.

I would like to have a progress bar or a notification to know when it finishes. How can I create a dolphin service menu like that?

Hi!
Take a look at this link, helped me

Thank you, visone. Ideally, I would like a progress bar, but that's too difficult, so here's what I settled on. It shows a "started" notification and then either a "failed" notification or a "finished" notification.

Code: Select all

Hi!
It's cool, i like it!
Iif you don't mind, I would take the idea for my own service menu

visone, I don't mind.

Thanks!
