Bug ID: 479919
Summary: Let us disable automatic clipboard sharing from
Android too (so I can share only when clicking the
button)
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Android
OS: Android 10.x
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: mrgeek...@gmail.com
CC: andrew.g.r.hol...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On the Linux side of KDE Connect's Clipboard Sharing Plugin, there's an option
to disable "automatic sharing the clipboard from this device". So this works
from PC side.
Please add the same option on the Android side too. Currently, there is a "send
to clipboard" button, but no option to disable auto-sharing. Whenever I copy or
cut something on Android, it's being always sent even if I don't click the
button. But if I disable the plugin on Android, then I can't share it at all
(even though the button still exists in the persistent notification).
On that note, you could also improve by showing multiple clipboard entries on
the in-app button so I can pick one entry to send, not necessarily the last
one.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On Android, open KDE Connect and go to the plugin settings for the paired
device.
2. Enable synchronize clipboard plugin.
3. Copy some text.
OBSERVED RESULT
There's no additional options for the plugin like on PC side. Copied text
appears on the PC clipboard too automatically.
EXPECTED RESULT
Plugin configuration on Android should show an option to disable auto-sharing
like on PC. When disabled, text is sent only when clicking one of the sent to
clipboard buttons.
The button to sent to clipboard inside the app could list all clipboard
entries, starting from the latest, so you can pick which one to send. The other
buttons (in persistent notification and quick panel) can just keep sending the
last entry.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Android: 10, on a Samsung Phone
KDE Connect App: 1.29.0 from F-Droid
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This setting on PC is great because then I have the option to share only when I
click the button. I don't want to synchronize anything automatically - I want
to only send clipboard explicitly. I don't want to worry about what's on my
clipboard (e.g. passwords, arbitrary text) beyond that device, maybe being
persisted for a long time. Overriding the other clipboard gets in my way if
it's not explicitly intended.
