Here's what I found works: Connect phone. Choose transfer files option on phone (it should present you the USB mode menu as an overlay, if not, pick it from the notifications) Ignore the notification and option to open device there. (Basically, KDE's communication seems to confuse things and cause the charge/transfer files option to reset.) Open Dolphin and select the device, you should see device storage and SD card if there is one. Check that transfer files is still selected on the phone. To copy files, open the source/destination directory as another tab in Dolphin (right click on the location in the left panel and open as new tab, then navigate to the desired location). Copying between windows fails for some reason, but between tabs seems to work for me. If you've got the destination directory open in one tab, then from the other tab drag your files/directories to copy to the other tab's name at the top and drop onto that. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/EZFFQQNSLHWOTR27GSGQRQZ7YKE5E5PP/
