Hi All,
I'm a begginer and I have some question releted to .desktop:
1 - I'd like to know if there is a way to use .dekstop file to add item to the servicemenu on the first level and not under "Actions".
2 - Also I'd like to know if there is a way to change the icon for some directory that contain special file(e.x.: .cvs, .svn, etc..)
3 - Also I'd like to know if there is a way to change the icon for some file without creating a new mimeType.

I'm asking that beacuse my goal is to create a linux version of TortoiseSVN and TortoiseCVS.

Finally, I'm using the .desktop extension system because I don't know how to create a program that ca be integrated in the servicemenu(like ark)

Thank you for the help

P.S.: If you can't help with my question even developer documentation related to Konqueror will be usefull

Hmm, as far as I remember service menu actions are on the top level of the context menu unless you specifiy a submenu in the servicemenu file.

Could be possible to add a .directory file to that directory and specifiy an icon there.
Or when the majority of the files in there have a certain type, an icon associated with that type would be displayed like on other folders with common content.

Don't think so.
What kind of file do you have in mind?

I am pretty sure ark uses a service menu as well.

I'm reading some documentation that I found, and I think that Ark use something like services

It can be used as a view plugin as well, but if invoked as a stand alone application it doesn't do any thing different than one specified by a servicemenu.

The Ark .desktop file contains an Exec entry for running it as an application an a ServiceType + X-KDE-Library entry for using it as a view plugin/embedded viewer.
