KDE Connect NOW HAS AN ICON on "share" in Android

[woodsmoke]

this is not a complaint but merely an observation


because of the file structure inherent in Android one can only select one image to "share" using KDE connect.

So, I captured five images today of students doing laboratory work on my Android phone.

I shared, one image at a time, from the phone to the computer with "two clicks" one to GET TO KDE connect and one to share to my desktop.

i then was able to send the images to the appropriate students.

KDE connect continues to amaze, but I still do not like the squeensy little black icon.

I've got it working now, i had to turn on NFC and S Beam via the phone, remote control and clementine remote even works, but I can't send data or anything else to my sd card in the phone, I can send to phone storage but not the sd card, anyone know whats up with that?

I just tried this and here's what I experienced:

I opened "Photos" on the phone, held down the first pic I wanted to share, this brings up the multiple select option (a circle appears in the upper left corner of all the photos), I tapped (thus marking) all the additional photos I wanted to share via KDE Connect, then select Share > KDE Connect and once I selected my PC, a notification appeared on my desktop announcing the arrival of photos. I found the first four of the nine I selected in the Downloads folder, but they were corrupted - not readable as jpgs.

Going back to the phone, and selecting KDE Connect, and "Send Files" all my photos were listed there and I was able to send them - one at a time - to my desktop and they were in a viewable state.

It seems to me that the Share function simply doesn't work and it has nothing to do with the Android file structure. Rather, the Share function of KDE Connect isn't properly implemented and the Send Files function of KDE Connect doesn't allow multiple files to be selected. I can't see the logical leap to blaming Android for this failure. This should probably be reported as a bug to KDE Connect since it's still under development (version number less than 1).

Obviously, the easiest way to get photos to my desktop is to use KDE Connect on the PC and simply copy the photos using Dolphin.
