KDE Connect Support

[ids1024]

It should be possible to have something like the GSConnect Gnome Shell extension.

If its done please fork kdeconnect directly as gsconnect lacks the capabilities of mounting the cellphone (users need to fiddle around in the ssh config, not a good experience as it changes with the version) and sending multiple files does not work (it only sends 1 and the others just give error).

We can't fork the GSConnect extension anyway, as it is closely tied to gnome shell and not portable.

Maybe we can use this project?

From what I've read in last blog post, it would be the only feature I'd miss.
Hopefully something like valent will be rewritten in rust and join the collection of COSMIC projects. 😃

Apparently KDE Connect is designed to use standard interfaces where possible, and not be KDE specific. I still need to do more testing with it and see what might be required. (For some reason I couldn't get it to connect to my phone when I tried it, with KDE on Debian Sid.)

One thing we'll want for (some of the functionality of) KDE Connect is the RemoteDesktop portal. There's been some discussion of that in pop-os/xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic#23.

Check your firewall configuration, last time i didn't unblock firewall and hence it didn't work.

But it look terrible in other desktops and need a lot of dependencies.
