Avast4Home KDE4 integration

[Tigerw]

Today Avast Linux Home Edition is nice "integrated" with the file browser Konqueror when running KDE3.x. There is an action "Scan for viruses" in Konquerors context menu (when right-clicking a folder).
It would be nice to have the same action integrated into the context menu of KDE4.x file browsers Dolphin and Konqueror, is this possible?

Hallo,
i don't use KDE (and even higher versions of this desktop-suite), but have a look here:

        # install KDE service menu item (quick scan):
        if test -d $prefix/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus ; then
            install_symlink avast-quickscan.desktop \
                $prefix/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/avast-quickscan.desktop
        fi

it was just link to avast-quickscan.desktop file, placed in konqueror's servicemenus directory as a symlink. Have a look on the place, where KDE4 stores those entries, and place the link there in the same manner.

regards,
pc

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I have no idea where KDE4 store those entries, my knowledge is a bit limited 

Maybee Avast developers can add this feature into next release?

In such case, ususally, it's good trick to add some artificial entry with exotic-enough name, and search for this string in your home and /usr. success granted .

Found this folder:

/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus

I tried to copy the avast-quickscan.desktop symlink from /opt/kde3/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus to there but with no success.

Cannot find any other folder named "servicemenus".

Just have a look at their new servicemenu formats. add some place-holder in a normal way (from the desktop-tool), and then edit it to start avast-quickscan instead.
