SendHere

Select files. Right click. Send them somewhere. Done.

Stop dragging files across your desktop like an animal.
THE FUTURE IS NOW.

SendHere adds a simple right-click action to Dolphin so you can send selected files to a destination folder without dragging, copying paths, or playing window games.

No dragging.
No copying paths.
No guessing.

Just: select → SendHere → choose destination → done.

How It Works

1. Select files in Dolphin
2. Right click → SendHere
3. Choose the destination folder
4. Done

Current Status

This is an early v0 build.

Right now, SendHere copies files using cp -r.

That means:

• If a file with the same name already exists, normal copy behavior applies
• Overwrite/conflict handling is not polished yet
• Rename-on-conflict is not implemented yet
• Move mode is not implemented yet

Future versions should handle this better with options like:

• skip existing files
• overwrite existing files
• rename duplicates automatically
• move instead of copy

---

Requirements

Currently tested on:

• Garuda Linux
• KDE Plasma 6
• Dolphin file manager
• Wayland session

Required tools:

• bash
• kdialog
• cp
• KDE/Dolphin service menu support

On Arch/Garuda systems, these are usually already available. If not:

sudo pacman -S kdialog

FILE PLACEMENT (MANUAL SETUP)

If you are not using install.sh, do this manually:

1) MAIN SCRIPT

Put the sendhere script here:

  ~/.local/bin/sendhere

Make it executable:

  chmod +x ~/.local/bin/sendhere

Make sure ~/.local/bin is in your PATH.

------------------------------------------------------------

2) RIGHT CLICK MENU (DOLPHIN)

Put the service file here:

  ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/sendhere.desktop

If the folders do not exist:

  mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
  mkdir -p ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus

------------------------------------------------------------

3) FIX THE EXEC PATH (IMPORTANT)

Open the file:

  nano ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/sendhere.desktop

Make sure this line exists:

  Exec=sendhere %U

If that does NOT work, use full path:

  Exec=/home/your-username/.local/bin/sendhere %U

Example:

  Exec=/home/big-bro/.local/bin/sendhere %U

------------------------------------------------------------

4) REFRESH DOLPHIN

Run:

  kbuildsycoca6
  killall dolphin
  dolphin &

------------------------------------------------------------

NOTES

- Replace "your-username" with your actual username
- Built for KDE Plasma + Dolphin
- Tested on Garuda Linux (Arch-based)
- v0 does NOT handle file overwrite conflicts yet
