If you install nautilus in KDE then you can do it using nautilus too. Behind the code, My script only give a GUI to do small painful command line task.. Internally it call makeself command. Now if you are using KDE then you can install makeself command and create same .run type of executable using makeself command. makeself take 3 argument 1) folder which to be compressed 2) file which will be a starter scripts 3) name of the final file. You can create .run files using makeself command too... ( http://megastep.org/makeself/ ) sudo apt-get install makeself makeself /home/narendra/MyProjects/SoniKeyboard SoniKeyboard.run "Software" ./install.sh makeself is very good command. it was having a small bug that it was not taking folder with space in their name. So it will defiantly work for you in KDE too. I am now working on WxPython too. So I will create a makeself-gui in Wx so that any user can install it. I did in nautilus because I live right-click scripts in gnome. IDK KDE equivalent. I write nautilus script for SchoolOS -- LUG@IITD - http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
