Emblems Hack is a software hack that adds basic emblem support to kdelibs-3.5.5 and 3.5.6 similar to GNOME. It is easy to use and provides a simple solution for users who need emblem support.
Currently, there is no graphical user interface for selecting emblems for files. However, it is still possible to set an emblem by running the following command: attr -s emblem -V icon-name file. The icon-name can either be a valid KDE icon name or an absolute path, such as /home/user/icon.png.
Unfortunately, emblems are not currently drawn on thumbnail previews. The good news is that future versions of Emblems Hack will attempt to address this issue, so stay tuned for updates.
In order to use Emblems Hack, users must have the following requirements: KDE 3.5.5 or 3.5.6, and extended attribute support. Additionally, kernel and file system support for xattrs is required. If necessary, users can add the user_xattr option in the fstab to enable this support.
Finally, Emblems Hack has released a new version that includes service menus and scripts for selecting emblems. Users are encouraged to provide feedback and suggestions for future updates. Overall, Emblems Hack is a very useful program that enhances the functionality of KDE, and is definitely worth considering if you're a fan of this platform.
