Description: Service Menu for Dolphin to send files with Telegram Desktop
* be sure you have `telegram-desktop` binary in you $PATH (it works out-of-the-box for Arch users using telegram-desktop-bin from AUR)
* eventually add /path/to/your/Telegram to $PATH or copy it to /usr/bin with `sudo cp /path/to/your/Telegram /usr/bin/telegram-desktop` (the latter won't be automatically updated)
* at the moment it doesn't work with multiple files
You can also try "Send file with Telegram (using telegram-cli)" service menu if you don't use Telegram Desktop: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1171607/
9ALEX-L, are you okay?
I would like to know if you can create such an add-on to be used with Kotatogram.
Or help me understand how to change path from Telegram to Kotatogram. Well, I tried to do that by changing the name to:
kotatogram-desktop -sendpath "%f"
But nothing happened.
Hi, I'm fine thank you. Maybe you installed it as Flatpak? I just did so and this command works for me: /usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=kotatogram-desktop --file-forwarding io.github.kotatogram -sendpath @@ "%f" @@
ALEX-L, me again.
So.
Actually I use GGARUDA LINUX, I installed it from AUR-Chaotic.
Well I uninstalled your plugin, reinstalled it, entered the file again and changed telegram to kotatogram.
Then I restarted the computer.
Lo and behold, it worked.
The other time, before I sent you the message, I remember that I had changed the menu description, and not even that had changed.
But this time it happened. It worked out.
I can't explain why.
But thank you very much for the quick attention you gave me.
Open Konsole and run:
telegram-desktop
Does it launch Telegram Desktop? How do you installed Telegram? Downloading it from telegram.org and extracting an archive or did you found it in your distro app center and clicked "Install"?
I mean i am using telegram (it's already installed), but i don't know how to enable that feature to send the file directly from the context menu to the telegram desktop chat.
Got a bit confused with the description above..
Do you know how to install a Service Menu for Dolphin? Dolphin > Settings > Services > Get New Service > Search for this one typing "Telegram" in the search box.
But the point is: if you installed Telegram by downloading it from telegram.org you probably can't run it from terminal typing "telegram-desktop" that is a requisite for this service menu. Please check as I said in my previous comment.

Se puede crear también un enlace simbólico a alguna ruta añadida al path del Telegram descargado por internet, eso hice yo jeje
