   • Alternatively, copy it to /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ for a system-wide application.

3. Set Permissions:

    chmod +x /home/USER/scripts/dolphin_ultracopier.py

    sudo chown root:root /usr/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/ultrapaste.desktop
   

4. Restart Dolphin:

   • Restart Dolphin file manager, the "Paste with Ultracopier" option should appear on the Right Click Context/Dropdown Menu.
