You can use Plasma ContainmentAction e.g. for Context Menus on your Plasma Desktop. They will run as plugins meaning you can add and remove them after compilation. If they exist, their name will be stored in .desktop files.
Example
A simple example for Plasma ContainmentAction plugins can be found at https://github.com/tstaerk/kde-contextmenu/tree/0.1. Let's look at it here:
[Desktop Entry] Name=KDE Context Menu Type=Service Icon=favorites Comment=Simple application launcher ServiceTypes=Plasma/ContainmentActions X-KDE-Library=kde-contextmenu X-KDE-PluginInfo-Author=R. Hacker [email protected] X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name=kde-contextmenu X-KDE-PluginInfo-Version=pre0.1 X-KDE-PluginInfo-Website=http://techbase.kde.org X-KDE-PluginInfo-EnabledByDefault=true
CMakeLists.txt
project(kde-contextmenu)
set(KDE_MIN_VERSION "4.3.85") # for the < 4.2 macro
find_package(KDE4 4.3.85 REQUIRED)
include(MacroLibrary)
include(KDE4Defaults)
add_definitions(${QT_DEFINITIONS} ${KDE4_DEFINITIONS})
include_directories(${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR} ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR} ${KDE4_INCLUDES})
set(contextmenu_SRCS
launch.cpp
)
kde4_add_plugin(kde-contextmenu ${contextmenu_SRCS})
target_link_libraries(kde-contextmenu ${KDE4_PLASMA_LIBS} ${KDE4_KIO_LIBS})
install(TARGETS kde-contextmenu DESTINATION ${PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR})
install(FILES kde-contextmenu.desktop DESTINATION ${SERVICES_INSTALL_DIR})
Install it
Compile, link and install it using the command
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` . && make -j8 && make install
Test it
To test it, right-click onto your desktop and select "Folder View Settings". Then select the context menu:
Debugging
To debug your Plasma ContainmentAction call
