Since SFOS 4.3 OpenSSL 1.0 was removed and hence Sailfish Connect cannot installed anymore. Is there a quick way to resolve this?

Version 0.6.1-2 should now be installable.

Thanks for the update R1tschY. You forgot to fix the typo on the notification "succedded" instead of succeeded, which is a small thing but high visibility. Any plans to implement selecting multiple images?
Thanks for this great app.

Everything is already fixed for the next version 0.7, but I did not get it ready in time. Unfortunately I was busy with other things...

Sorry for that: With 4.3.0.12 the support for OpenSSl 1.0 is removed. Installation of Sailfish Connect is not possible anymore and for the new SFOS version probably a recompilation is needed.

For some reason, I'm facing issues with this app (XA2 Ultra, SFOS 4.2).
It seems that it connects normally after I reboot my PC, but once I exit the app it can't connect saying "Device is not reachable". It looks like something is going on in the background because it seems that it's getting connected for a brief moment (https://imgur.com/vQVQPq3).
What could be the problem? How do I send logs if needed?
This is the output when I open it through the terminal - [I] unknown:0 - Using 0 MB of album art cache
Edit 2: After switching to a Plasma-based distro and using KDE-connect instead of GSConnect on Ubuntu 20.04, I have no issues with the connection anymore.

It is a known issue with GSConnect :(

Is it feasible to add a plugin that will be able to show notifications from the connected devices on Sailfish OS?

Definitely doable. It's named ReceiseNotifications in KDE Connect, but not implemented yet in SailfishConnect.

Have you had some time to think about native keyboard (and therefore hardware keyboard support)? I mean no pressure, just asking and showing that my interest in such a feature hasn't changed. :]

Would it be possible to create a service that would run in the background? I have to keep app running to have a connection with other devices

Simply use background service option on settings page.

Your interest in this feature is good news already! I hope you will agree to consider a setting/icon from the touchpad view to enable hardware keyboard detection, and therefore touchpad + keyboard at the same time.
In case looking into other code would be useful, Qremotecontrol has its own virtual keyboard too, but also has a setting for using the default Sailfish vkb (an icon to tap on when in the Qremotecontrol vkb view), and when a hwkb is detected, the vkb is hidden and the user can use hwkb input. It does detect keystrokes but it is partly broken for me, as all it prints on the distant computer's terminal t is ^V or ^? (for both vkb and hwkb). Probably just some incompatibility with terminals, because it works in graphical applications.

Do you think it would be possible to add support for hardware keyboards? I have a F(x)tec Pro1 and having to use a vkb using KDEConnect is frustrating, as I have more keys on the hardware keyboard, and better feedback of course.
What would be best would be to be able to use the hardware keyboard while inside the touchpad module, so that there's no need to swipe to use both.
What do you think? I can test if you need.

I thought about making the default keyboard available, then the hardware keyboard should work too. It could be a setting than no swipe is necessary. No schedule yet when I will start working on it, I'm afraid.

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 ...
