What's new in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.9

Mar 22, 2016
  • Support for kf5-kdesu not in $PATH
  • Fixes in installer/uninstaller scripts
  • Workaround: use --nofork to open konsole as root

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.8.7 (Jan 8, 2016)

  • KF5 installer fix
  • Fix installer script (and uninstaller) for kf5 (detect both kde4 and kf5 and install the .desktop files as necessary).
  • Add version number to the script

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.8.6 (Aug 20, 2015)

  • kf5 default application fix
  • Really, really, really fix the --caption issue
  • Updated README to include plasma5/kf5

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.8.3 (Feb 24, 2015)

  • Removed root reminders for now because of kf5/qt5 compatibility (no "--caption" option support)
  • I'll try to add them back if I find a way to do that. TIP: Setting a different theme/color scheme for root will help you distinguish root apps even without the reminders.

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.8.2 (Jan 29, 2015)

  • Using dbus-run-session, which is a better solution than dbus-launch.
  • dbus-run-session is only available in dbus 1.8.x >, so the fix will only work with newer dbus releases, but the menu will still work with older versions (but the bug is obviously not fixed with that version).

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.8 (Jan 3, 2014)

  • Reupload 2.7.4 as 2.8 since this version does not support KDE3 anymore (KDE3 files from version 2.7.3 are still included in the package for those that use KDE3).

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.7.2 (Mar 29, 2012)

  • Added Swedish translation

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.7.1 (Apr 28, 2011)

  • GHNS: Create servicemenu directory (if it doesn't exist) with the install script
  • Added Slovene translation

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.7 (Apr 13, 2011)

  • Improve filemanager and texteditor fallbacks if xdg-mime fails to detect default applications

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.6.92 (Jan 28, 2011)

  • Bytesize bugfix to fix an issue with kdesu on KDE SC 4.6

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.6.90 (Jan 2, 2011)

  • Added "Compress" menu option, brings up ark compression dialog (as root) to choose filename, format etc.
  • NEW DEPENDENCY: ark
  • Consider compress option a beta feature...all testing feedback welcome.

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.6 (Nov 25, 2010)

  • Fixed bug with default application detection on desktop files with kde4-prefix

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.6 Beta (Sep 14, 2010)

  • Use kde-cp and kde-mv (if available) instead of cp and mv (This should prevent accidental overwrites by bringing up KDE's overwrite dialog). If you prefer the old "noninteractive" behavior, change $CPDIALOGS to "false" in the rootactions-servicemenu.pl script (recommended for "advanced" users only)
  • Some optimizations on the default application checks (removing redundancies)
  • Refreshed requirements. xdg-utils is an optional requirement (default application checks need it, but the menu will work without it)

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.4.11 (Sep 2, 2010)

  • Changed "terminal" icon to "utilities-terminal" in KDE4 desktop files (and krusader xml)...fixes missing icon in "open terminal here" action for KDE SC 4.5
  • Also made KDE3 desktop files consistent in using Konsole icon

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.4.9 (Feb 16, 2010)

  • Added Greek translation

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.4.8 (Jan 11, 2010)

  • Added Catalan translation
  • Small XDG fixes on the .desktop files

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.4.7.1 (Nov 7, 2009)

  • Improved actions
  • Added "open in filemanager" and "open in terminal" to the menu also when right-clicking on files, which will open the apps in the parent folder.
  • (This should save a mouse-click when you would otherwise have to go up a directory to right-click on the folder)
  • (2.4.7.1) Fixed KDE3-Konqueror version to open in konqueror instead of dolphin...my bad.

New in Root Actions Servicemenu 2.4.3 (Apr 7, 2009)

  • Added Russian translation
  • Fixed a typo in Lithuanian translation in the .desktop files
  • Minor changes in French translation
