25 * Helps to create user-configurable menus with tools which are potentially not yet installed.
26 *
27 * This class is one entry point of the KMoreTools API.
28 * See also KMoreToolsMenuFactory.
29 *
30 * @note This is a new API (published within KNewStuff since April 2015). Its current
31 * target are KDE applications which are part of the kdesrcbuild infrastructure.
32 * Here, it is possible to find all usages and to adapt to API changes when needed.
33 * So, if you use this in your own application, beware that there might be API
34 * changes when more use cases are developed.
35 *
36 *
37 * Introduction
38 * ------------
39 * KMoreTools helps to build user-configurable menus with tools which
40 * might not installed yet. These tools may also take URL arguments supplied
41 * by the application.
42 *
43 * The user will see a menu item for a tool even if it is not installed (in the
44 * 'More' section). Furthermore, it makes long menus shorter by providing a
45 * main and more section.
46 * It provides a 'Configure menu' dialog to make the menu user-configurable.
47 *
48 * It does this in the following ways:
49 * - Provide an API to define external applications for a given context.
50 * - If a defined application is not installed (yet) the application is (optionally)
51 * still presented to the user with a hint that it is not installed and a link
52 * to the homepage (later with integration to package management).
53 * This increases the discoverability of useful applications the user never
54 * heard about yet.
55 * - In case of many applications for a given context, it provides a GUI to the
56 * user to hand-pick favorite tools.
57 * This makes it easier for application developers to add alternative
58 * application/tool suggestions without worrying about cluttered menus.
59 * - Menu items can be (automatically) moved to the "More" submenu.
60 * - Reduce translation effort by re-using .desktop files of the services added
61 * to the menu.
62 *
63 *
64 * Details
65 * -------
66 * The term "kmt-desktopfile" refers to a 1:1 copy of a .desktop file. The
67 * kmt-desktopfile is provided by the application that uses KMoreTools
68 * and must be installed to subdirectories of /usr/share/kf5/kmoretools/
69 * - e.g. /usr/share/kf5/kmoretools/dolphin/statusbar-diskspace-menu/
70 * - e.g. /usr/share/kf5/kmoretools/kate/addons/project/git-tools/
71 * - generally, 'QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation'/kf5/kmoretools/'uniqueId'
72 *
73 * See KMoreTools::KMoreTools for hints of how to install this correctly
74 * using cmake.
75 *
76 * The kmt-desktopfiles are used to get ready-made translations for application
77 * name and description even if the application is not installed. You can
78 * also provide an icon which is used in the not-installed section when the
79 * application is not installed yet.
80 *
81 * For details about the resulting menu structure, see KMoreToolsMenuBuilder.
82 *
83 * See also https://community.kde.org/Scratchpad/KMoreToolsFramework (outdated)
84 *
85 *
86 * Rationale for the "Not installed" section
87 * -----------------------------------------
88 * - Increase discoverability and visibility of useful free software that have
89 * inherently low budget for marketing.
90 * - Make interconnection of different free software packages as effortless as
91 * possible (in terms of creating and maintaining the menu).
92 * - Provide expert (i.e. your) knowledge to useful free software alternatives
93 * to solve a certain task.
94 * - Give novice users hints about tools that are useful in a particular
95 * context even if they are not installed.
96 * - Improve self-documentation of applications.
97 *
98 *
99 * Presets
100 * -------
101 * Before installing desktop files in your application you might take a look
102 * at KMoreToolsPresets or KMoreToolsMenuFactory which might already contain
103 * the needed tools.
104 *

144 * FAQ
145 * ---
146 * ### Why is everything based on desktopfiles?
147 *
148 * - With desktopfiles translation can be reused.
149 * - Definition of application icon can be reused.
150 * - They provide a unified interface for dealing with program arguments.
151 *
152 *
153 * todo later
154 * ----------
155 * - question: KMoreTools::registerServiceByDesktopEntryName():
156 * - warn if service is not of Type=Application (KService::isApplication()) or just leave it?
157 * Add support for package managers to install software (e.g. muon discover)
158 * - maybe: kmt-desktopfiles: add a config file that can configure the homepage URLs
159 * and e.g. the package name if needed for package manager support
160 *
