Can't send multiple files from PC to android

tazztone · April 27, 2023, 7:10am

hi guys
it’s possible to send multiple files from android to PC, but unfortunately that is not the case the other way around. sending only one file from pc to android works, but with 2 or more files i only get this screen:

when i click ok i get error window: couldn’t share.
not sure if this is a bug or not yet developed functionality.
workaround is to zip the files or send one by one ofc.

bug report of the same issue here:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453290

thanks for this nice software

You are on Windows, right?

Can you describe what steps you are doing?

tazztone · April 27, 2023, 12:30pm

yes windows with latest version of kde connect standalone

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

mark multiple files in windows explorer
right click “send to” → “remote device via kde connect”

Looking at the code it only handles one URL being sent, not multiple: urlhandler/kdeconnect-handler.cpp · master · Network / KDE Connect · GitLab

Fixing that should be relatively easy, but I don’t know if that’s the only thing that’s wrong

maybe worth a try for u?

I have the same problem, Is there any fix sooner or later?

On Android, for example, you can select mutiple files in your desired file manager (Like Gallery, etc.) and tap Share button and select KDE Connect.
But in windows, if you go to App’s interface and click “Share File”, you can only select One file.
and if you go to Windows Explorer and select multiple files, Right Click > Send to > Send to remote device via KDE Connect, it will bring this up:

And clicking OK will return an error:

KDE Connect URL handler

Couldn’t share
