How to add an option to create a particular type of file from context menu on KDE plasma, fedora?
(lemmy.world)
I want to add an option under Create New to create a file of particular type. For example I use Rnote to create notes,. They have .rnote extension.
Now I create a empty file (image, 3rd option from above) with extension as .rnote , but that file when opened in the application can't be written to, because it is not a proper .rnote file, it is empty file with that extension.
How do I quickly create a proper file for rnote or any application for example libreoffice?
I am on fedora 43, kde plasma.
Creating a
.prototypefile in~/Templatesdidn't work for me on KDE Plasma version 5.27.5.Because it's my own filetype I added it in "File Associations" known types in text category, to open with Kate, Gvim, etc, just in case, but didn't help.
Is something else required?
It's not a dotfolder. It has to be "Templates" not ".Templates".
Hence my follow-up on how to hide it.
Sorry typo, it's indeed
~/Templates(even verified to be sure but even has a specific icon), was already there, I didn't create it. So unfortunately still does not work.Looks like in plasma 5 you need to mess with .desktop files placed in
~/.local/share/templates/Neat! Thanks I
~/.local/share/templates//usr/share/templatesfor.desktopfiles~/Templatesand finally now getting :fixed icon
