Description Jens Rutschmann 2011-05-08 13:35:25 UTC

The p7zip distribution tar.bz2 contains two versions of the desktop file providing the service menu entries in file managers like dolphin:
/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/p7zip_compress.desktop
/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/p7zip_compress2.desktop

Therefore the context menu contains the entries twice.

Both version differ in the values of "ServiceTypes" and "X-KDE-ServiceTypes", which are KDE-specific according to freedesktop.org:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apb.html

I tried both files with the other one removed from /usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus and the entries appeared each time only once (no matter which version of the file I used).

Please consider changing the ebuild to install only one of them. I don't know which one is the correct one, though, as Gnome or XFCE may behave differently.

Thanks.

Yes, only one desktop file should be installed. The current menu is quite huge with everything duplicated. p7zip_compress.desktop is the one that should be used, since it's supposed to work everywhere, not only KDE.
