Devices: Bazzite Laptop, GrapheneOS Pixel 9, Boox Tab X
I'm annoyed with the functionality of KDEConnect at present. I very much like the concept, but there is friction preventing what should be a convenience from reaching its potential. Right now, I can mount the filesystem of connected devices on my laptop, but every time I do so I have to bypass an access restricted sign and do Ctrl+L to append storage/emulated/0 to the IP address of the connected device to actually access the mounted filesystem. Further, if there is more than one device, the two filesystems are practically indistinguishable from one another: I just spent about 5 minutes digging through the pictures on my tablet before I realized I was browsing the wrong device
-
Is there a way to automatically append storage/emulated/0 every time the device is mounted?
-
Is there a way to rename the filesystems so that I can easily distinguish between my phone and tablet?
Some other problems less directly important to what I would like to incorporate into my workflow:
I occasionally experience strange, unexplained disconnections/refusals to connect with the kdeconnect protocol, despite being connected by wifi, bluetooth, direct usb tether, or any combination thereof. This problem is infrequent and intermittent, and the only consistent solution seems to be restarting the affected device (usually the pixel).
- Am I missing something about connecting devices; is there a log I can check for some kind of device error?
I'd appreciate some way to stream the screen from one device to another. Nothing major, but it would have been convenient a couple of times now, and it seems like an obvious addition to the capabilities.
- Is something like that in the works? If not, what is the reason it's not? What would allow me to do this?
