What specification are you referring to? In case of DES-EMA (http://www.nautilus-actions.org/?q=node/377), I don't think that's deprecated. In fact, nautilus-actions still exists, even if it's not in the default package set. In any case, I don't think that specification is appropriate for what I'm currently proposing here. Similar to the previously cited KDE ServiceMenus, it targets file managers, not app launchers, and thus goes a long way to match on particular subset of files, resulting in a very complex specification, for a use case that it's supposedly simple. Also, it allows recursive submenus, which I don't think we want to support. Giovanni
