	(note: I've been having some trouble receiving mails through gawab.com, you can send or CC the mail to mail.kubicle@gmail.com to make sure I get it, thanks)

I've dropped version 1.x from the package since 2.x is stable and can do a lot more than 1.x. If you're still interested in the 1.x version, drop me a mail and I'll send it to you.

----Requirements:-----------------------------------------------------
Essential: (these should already be installed on a standard KDE installation)
perl                 -the script is written in perl
kdesu | kdesudo      -to gain administrative privileges
kdialog              -to show dialogs
kreadconfig          -to read kde configuration
dolphin | konqueror  -filemanager
kwrite | kate        -editor

Optional:
krename              -for multiple file (batch) renaming
krusader	     -to use the included krusader actions

----Installation:-----------------------------------------------------

Version 2.3 -> 
	1. Uncompress the rootactions-servicemenu.pl script in Root_Actions_2.x to a directory in your $PATH. /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin are two valid options. Make the script executable (if it's not).

	2a. (Konqueror for KDE3) Uncompress the three .desktop files in /konqueror-KDE3 to ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus (This will enable the menu for individual users, if you wish to enable the menu for all users, copy the files to /usr/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus instead).

	2b. (Dolphin for KDE3) Uncompress the two .desktop files in /dolphin-KDE3 to ~/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus (This will enable the menu for individual users, if you wish to enable the menu for all users, copy the files to /usr/share/apps/d3lphin/servicemenus instead).

	2c. (Dolphin and Konqueror for KDE4) Uncompress the two .desktop files in /dolphin-KDE4 to your kde4 servicemenu folder (possibly ~/.kde4/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus). If you wish to use konqueror instead of dolphin as your filemanager, edit 10-rootactionsfolders.desktop by changing 'dolphin' to 'konqueror'.

	2d. (Krusader for KDE4) Import krusader_rootactions.xml file in /krusader-KDE4 with krusader's action manager.

----Available Actions----------------------------------------------------------------

Version 2.x
	- Open Terminal Here (folders) - open a root terminal session in chosen folder
	- Open in File Manager (folders) - open chosen folder(s) in file manager (default is konqueror)
	- Open as Text (files) - open chosen folder(s) in text editor (default is kate)
	- Open With ... (both) - open chosen items in a program of your choice

	- Copy (both) - copy a single file or folder (ADDED in 2.1)
	- Move/Rename (both) - if multiple items selected and a batch renamer installed (default is krename) start renamer, otherwise use a simple move/rename dialog
	- Delete (both) - Completely removes chosen items (as this is potentially hazardous, there is an extra confirmation dialog), handy for removing back-up files etc.

	- Ownership to Root (both) - change ownership of chosen items to root:root
	- Ownership to Active User (both) - change ownership of chosen items to current user
	- Ownership to ...  (both) - change ownership of chosen items to UID:GID of your choice

	- Change Permissions (both) - change permissions of chosen items
	If only a single folder is selected, permissions/ownership can be set recursively. If changing permissions recursively, files are only set executable if they already are executable (Otherwise all files in a directory would be set executable if the parent folder is set executable, which is necessary for the folder to be accessible)


----Translating and customizing:-----------------------------------------------------

Version 2.x
	Edit .desktop files with a text editor to add your own language

	Edit rootactions-servicemenu.pl, the strings used in dialogs are marked with:
	"########### DIALOG MESSAGES, TRANSLATABLE STRINGS #############"
	Edit lines:
	"xx" => "Your string, xx is the country abbreviation"

	Edit .desktop files to change default applications used:

	File manager (default konqueror): edit 10-rootactionsfolders.desktop
		[Desktop Action OpenInFilemanager]
		Exec=rootactions-servicemenu.pl open_with konqueror %U
		(change 'konqueror' to your preferred file manager)

	Terminal (default konsole): edit 10-rootactionsfolders.desktop
		[Desktop Action OpenInKonsole]
		Exec=rootactions-servicemenu.pl root_konsole_here konsole %U
		(change 'konsole' to your preferred terminal application)

	Text editor (default kate): edit 11-rootactionsfiles.desktop
		[Desktop Action EditAsText]
		Exec=rootactions-servicemenu.pl open_with kate %U
		(change 'kate' to your preferred text editor)

	Batch renamer (default krename): edit 12-rootactionsall.desktop
		[Desktop Action Rename]
		Exec=rootactions-servicemenu.pl root_rename krename %U
		(change 'krename' to your preferred renamer application)

	You can also easily add your custom 'Open with [application]' entries by copying existing entries and modifying them to use your own applications.
