Bug ID: 395255
Summary: improve usability by launching KFind from right-click
(servicemenu) rather than the current file FIND ordain
Product: dolphin
Version: 18.04.1
Platform: Netrunner Rolling
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Keywords: usability
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: search
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
improving usability by saving clicks when searching files can be done easily.
The current procedures to FIND files & folders have poor usability because:
- it takes too many clicks, compared to KDIND via right-click serviceMenu
- mixing GNOME / gtk (angrySearch and such wares) with KDE apps is always a
poor idea in terms of usability
- those gnome search tools are far, far slower to load than KFIND
- those gnome search tools hardly offer any features on top of KFIND
- having so many FIND alternatives is confusing and counterproductive for
effiency, we want one simple, good solution, whichh is KFIND, period
solution:
get rid of all current FIND business (at least remove from toolbar by default)
and replace it with a standard kfind.desktop file activated by right-click like
this:
[Desktop Entry]
# place this at subdir:
/home/YOURSELF/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/
Type=Service
X-KDE-ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,inode/directory
X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel
Actions=kfindhere;
Comment=KFind from here, very handy ! path is being preset
[Desktop Action kfindhere]
Name=KFind Files or Folders
Name[es]=Buscar archivos/carpetas
Icon=kfind
Exec=kfind %u
