@glent A complete KDE Connect implementation for GNOME" Bold! Initial results poor. After starting, GSC sits there saying "Searching for devices...". It does not find my Bluetooth enabled phone. It does not find my USB connected phone. It does not find my wifi-connected phone. It does not connect when given the IP address of the phone on my wifi network (on the default port, 1716). Sad! Desperation! RTFM! Aha, I need to install an app on the phone. Done (from F-Droid of course). Brief puzzlement, followed by file send and receive from both ends working, and that's all I want. Curiosity made me test media control and screen lock etc, they work too. Haven't done much testing, but if I turn off wifi, the connection drops. Adding Bluetooth or adding a USB cable don't make it connect, but turning wifi back on gets an immediate connection. You're right - it's neat! Thanks for the tip.
