Dear all,
for the ones who use the KDE apps like me, I've written a small script which can be used to automatically fix the Dolphin contextual menu after the system has been updated, which is used to choose the application for opening a particular file, among all the available ones, and to define file associations for any extension within the system.
Code: Select all

[[ -z "$U" ]] && echo -e "Usage: $0 repo-url [file to download]\nwithout give \"file to download\" this script will list the files inside the repo\n";

do
if [[ -z "$FILE" ]]
then
echo "FILE: $i"
else
echo "Download file: $i"
curl -q "${U}/${i}" --output "$i" 2>/dev/null
ls -la "$i"

# Extract file kf5-applications.menu from package and save it onto /etc/xdg/menus
dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile libkf5service-data_5.103.0-1_all.deb | tar -xOf - ./etc/xdg/menus/kf5-applications.menu > /etc/xdg/menus/kf5-applications.menu

kill `pidof dolphin`;

The curl package is needed (also available on the Scarthgap repository). This script can also be used on Scarthgap, in case you have installed Dolphin on Scarthgap as a foreign app. What this script does is extremely simple:
- Downloads the package libkf5service-data_5.103.0-1_all.deb from the Debian repository and saves it onto the /files/archive folder
- Extracts the file kf5-applications.menu from it onto the folder /etc/xdg/menus
- Closes all active Dolphin instances if present
- Executes the needed command to rebuild the Dolphin menu
The default url for the package is the australian one. If you want to select another location, just comment the 2 lines for Australia and uncomment the 2 lines for the desired source location. Just name this script as you wish (give it obviously the .sh file extension) and don't forget to give it execution permissions.
but the Visayan could easily speak and understand Tagalog.
