kdeconnect-applet's Introduction

kdeconnect-applet

Minimialistic DE-independent GUI frontend for KDE Connect.

kdeconnect-indicator does not expose all KDE Connect features. KDE Connect package includes the "plasmoid" implementation that provides remaining bits, but they all require running Plasma DE which is not what some people want.

kdeconnect-applet is a simple GUI application consisting of a single window. If you use a tiling WM, you can configure it to place it somehow special. Otheriwse, it is just a regular GUI window.

Features

Terrible non-idiomatic Qt-based code.
Remote Keyboard implementation.
Request photo from device camera.
Easily share multiple files by dropping them into the window.

Installation

mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
sudo make install

Dependencies

Qt 5 Core, GUI, Widgets and D-Bus modules.
CMake 3.4.
Reasonably up-to-date C++ compiler.

I dunno what minimal versions are, but it works well with Qt 5.14, CMake 3.16 and GCC 9.2.0.

kdeconnect-applet's Issues

Update device lists as needed

Should display only reachable devices
Update as devices change their status
Probably stop hacking with strings and use proper model-view design

Add feedback for "Request Photo" action

Some kind of visual indication that the image was saved (and copied to clipboard) is desired.

Allow Ctrl-V images into the window to send them

There is already an (undocumented) feature that allows to copy-paste files from file managers (using text/x-url-list). Should be extended to handle image/* too.
