Hey

One of the useful features when you are using email clients, is “adding attachment(s)” item in right click menu.

— Send files to email

This feature does not exist in default KDE 4.x version but adding this item is really piece of cake:

First, go to the service directory:

cd ~/.kde/share/kde4/services

Create file `email.desktop`:

touch email.desktop

Add below configuration commands.

for KMail

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
Icon=dolphin
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,all/allfiles

Actions=Send_to_KMail
X-KDE-menu=Email
X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel

[Desktop Action Send_to_KMail]
Name=Send file(s) with KMail
Exec=kmail --attach %U
Icon=kmail

for Thunderbird

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
Icon=dolphin
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin,all/allfiles

Actions=Send_to_Thunderbird
X-KDE-menu=Email
X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel
Encoding=UTF-8
ServiceTypes=all/all

[Desktop Action Send_to_Thunderbird]
Name=Send file(s) with Thunderbird
Exec=thunderbird -P guest -compose "attachment=file://%U"
Icon=thunderbird

Now save the file and reopen the Dolphin file manager.
done!

Good luck

Hi

It’s simple. Just 4 steps:

1. Save a copy of the file as ODS (OpenOffice.org Spreadsheet).
2. Change the filetype of the copy to ZIP (for example rename File.xls to File.zip).
3. Open the ZIP.
4. In the directory called Pictures will be the images, just as in the original.

Hi

Identi.ca is an open source social networking and micro-blogging service.
I like Ideni.ca. It’s good service.

I use CLI (command line) everyday. I like to dented from it. It’s simple.
Just install cURL:
$ sudo apt-get install curl

And type:
$ curl -u username:password -d status="message" http://identi.ca/api/statuses/update.xml

You will receive a response containing the XML coding for your post which acts as a confirmation that your post was submitted.

Also you can create a shell file for this
Open a new text document and add the following, save it as identica.sh (or anything ending in sh):
#!/bin/bash
curl -u username:password -d status=″$1" http://identi.ca/api/statuses/update.xml

Make sure you change the chmod to 777 using the following command.
$ chmod 777 /path/to/file/

When you located the file (or add a bash prompt) it makes it simplier to identi.ca the rules. For example you can type the following to command to link to the file.
$ ./path/to/idetica.sh "Message"
