No "Create File" in Dolphin's context menu

[AGazzaz]

Hello,

when I right click on dolphin the context menu that appears contains no "create file" and its submenu although I can create files from konqueror, opera and on desktop and I can save files anywhere I want on my HDD.

 

I googled a little bit and I found there was a bug report in Mandriva 2011 rc1 and I am using the final version.

 

how can I solve this problem?

I think the problem / change is in the /usr/share/apps/dolphin/dolphinui.rc file... I do not have Mandriva installed to check this. I would suggest making a copy of your current dolphinui.rc file in a safe place. Then d/l and extract the attached dolphinui.tar.gz and replace your /usr/share/apps/dolphin/dolphinui.rc with it. Restart dolphin and see if it works, if not, replace it with the original you have.

 

Please let us know if that works for you.

 

Removed the file – it didn't solve the problem.

thank you for your time but sadly it did not work

Yes that option is missing from the right click. However if you go to File--> Create New the option to create a file is there.

Sorry for my late reply ( something is wrong about the topic subscription ).

I found it in the file menu, Thank you very much.

 

But is there a way to have it in the right click as well?

The only way is to add it to the Service Menu. There's an application that (supposedly) makes the process easy. http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Service+Menu+Editor?content=85062

Okay I've found where you can add services in dolphin. No need to download and install that application I listed above. Open dolphin, go to Settings--> Configure Dolphin--> Services. Here you can download various other services to add to dolphin.
