[NEW] Send file with Telegram using Telegram Desktop Original

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net

Description:

Service Menu for Dolphin to send files with Telegram Desktop

* be sure you have `telegram-desktop` binary in you $PATH (it works out-of-the-box for Arch users using telegram-desktop-bin from AUR)

* eventually add /path/to/your/Telegram to $PATH or copy it to /usr/bin with `sudo cp /path/to/your/Telegram /usr/bin/telegram-desktop` (the latter won't be automatically updated)

* at the moment it doesn't work with multiple files

You can also try "Send file with Telegram (using telegram-cli)" service menu if you don't use Telegram Desktop: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1171607/

Open Konsole and run:

telegram-desktop

Does it launch Telegram Desktop? How do you installed Telegram? Downloading it from telegram.org and extracting an archive or did you found it in your distro app center and clicked "Install"?

I mean i am using telegram (it's already installed), but i don't know how to enable that feature to send the file directly from the context menu to the telegram desktop chat.
Got a bit confused with the description above..

Do you know how to install a Service Menu for Dolphin? Dolphin > Settings > Services > Get New Service > Search for this one typing "Telegram" in the search box.

But the point is: if you installed Telegram by downloading it from telegram.org you probably can't run it from terminal typing "telegram-desktop" that is a requisite for this service menu. Please check as I said in my previous comment.
