There are service menus you can add to handle specific filetypes

Yey,
The term "service menus" drew me toward an answer , however, after
realizing that the info found was for kde3/konquerer [1], then finding
kde4/konquerer, kde3/dolphin, kde3d3lphin, kde4dolphin differing paths,
and differing .desktop file contents required, I have exhausted my
patience. Eg: [2]
Let's say I create a file called tnefextract.desktop containing:
=====
[Desktop Entry]
Type=service
X-KDE-ServiceTypes=application/vnd.ms-tnef
Actions=tnefExtractToSubfolder;
[Desktop Action tnefExtractToSubfolder]
Name=extract TNEF archive
Icon=application-x-archive
Exec=tnef.sh %f
=====
and place that in:
/usr/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/
along with two other .desktop files, and they seem to have the same
format as the above.
What else is required (on Fedora) to actually make the association work ?
