Summary: KDE Connect v1.12.93 problem exporting phone file
system
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I'm running KDE Connect 1.12.93 (newly installed from Google Play Store) and
trying to export its file system to a Linux machine running Kubuntu 16.04.6
LTS. The phone is a Moto G7 Play, with all apps on an SD Card. When I go to
"Filesystem expose" and go to the top of the tree, it shows "SanDisk SD card",
which I "Select", and it gives me a box "Add storage location" with grayed out
box "Storage location" containing "primary:" and "Display name" "primary". If I
start a Dolphin file browser and select "motorola", I see "primary" under it,
but opening that gives an error
"/home/<user>/.config/kdeconnect/<phone>/kdeconnect_sftp/<phone>/primary does
not exist."
In an older version of kdeconnect (1.8.2, I believe) I was able to export
"/storage/emulated/0" and everything worked correctly. I am not given a
keyboard when selecting "Storage location", so I can't input
"/storage/emulated/0" directly. Exporting any of the subdirectories (such as
DCIM) are all referenced relative to "primary:", which, again, doesn't exist.
My set-up can't be all that unique, so I'm baffled that I don't seem to be able
to find many references to it when searching for it. I've tried to find
references to a configuration that resolves the issue, but the only thing that
seems to work is to go back to version 1.8.2. For obvious reasons, I'd like to
stay current and get everything to work with the current release.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install kdeconnect to Kubuntu system (16.04.6 LTS)
2. Install kdeconnect v1.12.93 app to phone from Google Play Store
3. Pair to laptop
4. Test connection (Ring my phone successful).
5. Export file system (...->Plugin settings->Filesystem expose->Add storage
location->Click to select
6. Browse to SanDisk SD card
7. Select
8. Storage location "primary:" (grayed out, can't be modified via keyboard)
9. OK
10. On laptop, click kdeconnect icon, select "Browse this device".
11. When browser opens, select "primary".
OBSERVED RESULT
Error message /home/<user>/.config/kdeconnect/<phone id>/kdeconnect_sftp/<phone
id>/primary does not exist.
EXPECTED RESULT
Older versions (1.8.4, I believe) permitted the expose of /storage/emulated/0/,
which opened correctly in the browser.
It's not clear whether the failure is due to configuration of this particular
phone where "primary:" should be set up in some way.
