Hey All,
Although I’m a long-time Unix/Linux user, I’m pretty much a novice user of KDE Plasma (Fedora f42 Edition). I did a forum search for previous topics on the subject, but didn’t see anything specific to my issue. So…
I’m trying to plug in my mobile phone, which is a Pixel 4a (5g), and mount the device storage somewhere in my filesystem. This would allow me to sync, say, my Music folder tree using rsync. I’ve tried a bunch of variants of gvfs, but—maybe not so surprisingly—none of them work.
What I have found is that when I connect the phone via USB-C, which I’ve set up to connect as as ‘File Transfer/Android Auto’ device in my phone settings. This is recognized on my laptop as an MTP device and auto-connects to the File Manager (Dolphin). This is not what I want. If I try to mount it using gio mount the system won’t allow this because the device is already mounted by the File Manager.
I looked around a bit in the KDE Plasma settings, and found a section called Connected Devices→Device Actions, which appears to control this auto-connectioin thing. I’d like to delete this action, but the menu disallows it.
Can anyone of you pros out there give me a hand to do what I’d like?
Many thanks!
