Last version downloaded & installed (0.6.0) : SMS download from Sailfish to KDE Connect (KDE Neon distro) still doesn't work (even if Sailfish terminal is waken up)

SMS download was not announced to work in 0.6.0. There is no official API to access text messages in SFOS. In SFOS 4.0 it becomes also more difficult because of sailjail. I'm open for contributions.

Typo alert: notification says "Upload succedded", should be "succeeded". Is there any way to turn this notification off? Thanks a million for this app

Thanks for finding the typo. At the moment there is no way to disable transfer notifications. What is the reason you want to disable the notifications?

There are just too many of them, if I transfer say 5 or 6 photos. Would it be possible to batch select pictures, instead of doing them 1 by 1? Thanks for a great app.

At the moment it is not possible the send multiple files. But I took a look at it and it was easy to implement and will be part of the 0.7 release.

Sailfishconnect does only start once when background daemon is activated. When closed i cannot open it again. Preview tile is there for about 5 seconds and vanishes. When i kill the daemon it can be opened again. I will file an issue on github tomorrow. (will also try to delete the config then)

I tried to reproduce it, but it seems like it only happens in some situations. As a workaround for the moment try to start it from Terminal everytime you want to open the app. I will investigate further ...

Can you more explain what you are trying to do? You can only control the media player on the computer. It is not possible to play music with Sailfish Connect on your phone that is played by a media player on your computer.

With PulseAudio you can stream audio to your phone: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples#PulseAudio_over... Maybe it works on Sailfish.
KDE Connect does not provide this feature.

Thank you for reporting. I will have to release the version 0.6 earlier than I wanted. Hopefully this will happen on this weekend and before SFOS 4.0.1 is released to all users.

I am using Debian Sid installatiin on my phone with Containers app. I got KDE Connect installed, and installed Sailfish Connect on the phone, and the devices recognize each other, and connect, and keyboard function is working, and I get no error when making a file transfer, but I can't find the transferred files, (there's also no confirmation, but not sure if there is supposed to be).... Where would yhe transferred files usually end up?update - seems like transfer is not happening. Any ideas?

File transfers are saved to the downloads folder. Notifications are part of the next release (0.6). For debugging start application from command line.

Got successful transfer to SFOS using contex menu in Nautilus. Command line output when trying to send from SF to Linux is, '

Send ping works both ways, and notifications received on both ends. Keyboard works also...

When SF can not send files to KDE Connect. Then KDE Connect can not create TCP connection to SF. Check that it is possible to reach SF from the other side, for example create a SSH connection to check it.

Is there a way to implement media player controls in minimized app/multitasking view?
R1tschY
Wed, 2020/09/09 - 21:48

Possible, but more than one cover action is not recommended and many actions like play are not useful when more than one player exists.
