I wonder if KDE Connect/GSConnect will ever have the option of starting a phone from your PC?

#KDEConnect #gsconnect #foodforthought

@fedora @gnome @kde
Definitely, would like to upgrade from 43 to 44 soon.
@kde #gsconnect extension, managed by #Github is not yet updated for @gnome 50. Either update the same at earliest or at least confirm that it's abandoned.
@fablog @omgubuntu
I don't use many extensions. But, I am specifically looking for an update for the #gsconnect extension by @kde which I use all the time.

thanks to #kdeconnect / #gsconnect and #unison I have a #syncthing like experience.

I only have to start the sync manually via terminal, which actually is ok.
Because my wife uses only her smartphone, I can sync weekly my digital heritage (all the important files in #cryptomator) to her phone.
This way she has all the stuff she needs in case a an accident or death.

#linux or #foss is so great, because you find easy and family friendly solutions without the cloud

So I switched to #kdeconnect and #gsconnect for syncing stuff to my #android phone. Actually this quite nice with some minor hickups.

But ... the phone is mounted automatically to via ftp. You have to add /storage/emulated/0/Documents to the mount for modern androidos.

But then I can easy sync stuff if rsync, because I can access over the terminal via /run/user/1000/gvfs/sftp:host=IPADRESS,port=1739/storage/emulated/0/

Don't we just love #linux for this stuff....

It's an app for Android.

People on #gnome desktops can use the extension called #gsconnect instead.

GSConnect auf Linux Mint installiert. Läuft nicht, weil keine Gnome Shell. Also wieder deinstalliert und KDEConnect drauf. Daraufhin crasht der Celluloid Videoplayer. Auch wieder runter damit.

Natürlich sind noch ein paar Abhängigkeiten übrig geblieben. Jetzt hab ich bei jedem Start die Auswahl zwischen Cinnamon, KDE und Gnome.

Cinamon ist ja die gnomeshell. Dann müsste es eigentlich auch das addon #GSconnect geben.

GSConnect - GNOME Shell Extensions

Found a local file and clipboard transfer alternative to #KDEconnect called #localsend. its missing media control and remote mouse input but it doesn't appear to have the dependency bloat of kdeconnect or #gsconnect. I care about this because #XFCE is my preferred desktop environment its lightweight, fast, and the design language is more intuitive to me.

LocalSend: Share files to nearby devices

LocalSend is a free, open-source, cross-platform file sharing tool that allows you to share files to nearby devices.

KDE connect on iOS with GSConnect on gnome are a godsend!
I do a lot of capturing on my good old iphone 12. Be it audio, video, images or pointclouds. The exchange to Linux is smooth <3
