Per-User Installation

For a user-specific setup, copy the files as follows:

cp servicemenus/* ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/
cp bin/imagetools-kdialog ~/.local/bin/

Ensure ~/.local/bin is included in your $PATH environment variable.

What Does "Prepare for Publishing" (JPEG) Do?

This function applies the following steps:

1. Scale the longer side of the image to 1920px (Full HD).
2. Recompress the image with 70% quality and optimize the file size.
3. Remove all non-essential metadata (only technical data is retained).

This process ensures the images are more suitable for tasks like emailing or uploading to untrusted systems.
