Hi All,
Is there a way to modify the Right Click menu in Konqueror?
Specifically I’m trying to get the first choice from “Open with” to be on
the right click main menu. Similar to when there is only one option to
open the file type with (without having to delete all the available options
but one).
Before:
Move to Trash
Delete
Open with =>
Preview with =>
Actions =>
Afterwards:
Move to Trash
Delete
Open with KWrite
Open with =>
Preview with =>
Actions =>
Thanks,
Michael

We have covered this before somewhere in the list archives, maybe 6 months ago
now, but I got it for you.
2 ways to modify the right-click menu.
#1 is the quickie method: just right-click, look at the available options, but
choose the bottom option, "Other ..."; and then add your own choice, which
will then move to the top of your list of options.
#2 takes longer, but allows more possibilities. Click on
Konqueror / Settings / Configure Konqueror... / File Associations /
<application or file types, etc.>/
Now look at the right side, where one is given the full range of
possibilities; including, of course, stuff you don't want.
You can add or remove stuff from your right-click menu, change the order of
choices in the menu, as well as change the icons for those choices, if you
don't like the defaults; you can even create absurd options that will never
work, like (for example) opening an Open Office document with a media player,
or make it so a graphics file gets opened with a web browser.
(You probably don't want to do these things, of course; but you *could* create
such weird configurations in your menus, because nothing prevents it; which
could conceivably bork up your otherwise well-behaved system.)
