I was not able to recognize the gesture. MouseArea.onWheel did not work. I can try to figure out how it works.

objectifnul's picture

Since SFOS3.x, notifications are no longer sent to the computer.

R1tschY's picture

Do you use GSConnect or KDE Connect? For GSConnect it is known that some notifications sended from SailfishConnect are not shown.

objectifnul's picture

KDEconnect.

R1tschY's picture

The problem should be fixed with version 0.5.1-1.

objectifnul's picture

V0.4-1.1 sends zero-byte files to the phone.

sdiconov's picture

Unable to pair with desktop. Both PC (linux, kde-connect) and jolla1 phone (sailfish connect) are in the same subnet connected to the same router. Ping works, firewalls disabled, but the devices do not see each other and the phone is not detected as a connectabke device.

Can you install the Android KDE Connect Client to see whether this client can connect?

objectifnul's picture

v0.4-2 seems to be not supported in SailfishX v2.2.0.29 (Unresponsive GUI; all patches disabled). Reverted to v0.3-1 which is OK.

Thanks for the update!

akikk88's picture

Finnish support coming?

R1tschY's picture

Finnish translation will come in next release, which will be released end of July or in August.

mugshot's picture

Hi, I noticed that in the media/file selection window, the Select file to send isn't translated. I couldn't find that string in Transifex either.

See: https://imgur.com/a/mZigSxm

R1tschY's picture

Hey, thanks for reporting. I just forgot to make the string translatable. Will be fixed in the next release.

JacekJagosz's picture

Any way I could make it run automatically with system startup?

R1tschY's picture

At the moment you have to setup at your own a systemd service. Maybe in the future this is part of the installation process. I did not tested it. Just copied from harbour-sailorgram and adjusted:

  • Activate background mode in SailfishConnect settings.
  • Create file named harbour-sailfishconnect.service in /usr/lib/systemd/user/post-user-session.target.wants/:
[Unit]
Description=SailfishConnect
Requires=lipstick.service
After=lipstick.service

[Service]
Type=dbus
ExecStart=/usr/bin/invoker --type=silica-qt5 /usr/bin/harbour-sailfishconnect
BusName=org.harbour.SailfishConnect

[Install]
WantedBy=post-user-session.target
  • Then on the command line run:
systemctl-user restart harbour-sailfishconnect.service

Edit: Fixed harbour-sailfishconnect.service

JacekJagosz's picture

I get that error when I run systemctl-user status
harbour-sailfishconnect.service - SailfishConnect
Loaded: error (Reason: Invalid argument)
Active: inactive (dead)

R1tschY's picture

I found the problem. It should be:

[Unit]
Description=SailfishConnect
Requires=lipstick.service
After=lipstick.service

[Service]
Type=dbus
ExecStart=/usr/bin/invoker --type=silica-qt5 /usr/bin/harbour-sailfishconnect
BusName=org.harbour.SailfishConnect

[Install]
WantedBy=post-user-session.target

after rm config app work, thank's!

murfik's picture

After update app crash on startup

R1tschY's picture

That's not good :-/

Try to delete the config folder: /home/nemo/.config/harbour-sailfishconnect

Or run SailfishConnect on the terminal: /usr/bin/harbour-sailfishconnect
and send me the output.

What do I need, to send SMS from my linux mint desktop? I have KDE Connect and most things seem to work, but no SMS. I can see the plugin on my phone, but it's not available in KDE Connect on desktop.

R1tschY's picture

I just tested with MConnect and KDE Connect as backend and it worked. At the moment SMS history and contacts is not supported. For example SMS functionality in GSConnect does it not work until this is implemented. But yes, I also do not see it in the KDE Connect plugins dialog. Maybe it's a bug, because it's possible to send messages.

rigo's picture

I have KDE-connect SMS 20.12.1 being empty and the refresh hangs forever. This is opensuse Tumbleweed with SailfishOS 3.4.0.24. Should I submit a bug report? Or is this a feature request? There is no way to send SMS. It just remains an empty box while saying "Loading conversations from device". Refresh does'nt change anything.

R1tschY's picture

Sending SMS is pretty much broken at the moment and never really worked like one would expect.

eson's picture

Ok, thanks! I'll try again.

Btw... I got Swedish translation ready to use, if you confirm my request at Transifex, or do you prefer PR at GitHub?

R1tschY's picture

Transifex is the prefered way. Swedish is now accepted.

objectifnul's picture

There seems to be a size limit for file transfer, but I didn't manage to determine its exact value.

R1tschY's picture

There should not be any. The feature is not as stable as it should, but I'm working on it.
