Bug ID: 362007
Summary: On-demand modus & always enabling bluetooth-using
integration (e.g. file sending)
Product: Bluedevil
Version: 5.6.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: now...@gmail.com
Reporter: kosse...@kde.org
I usually have bluetooth turned off via the Plasma bluetooth control on my
laptop (for power & security/privacy reasons).
Still I use it now and then, e.g. to send a file to another device.
Problems:
* needs me to explicitely enable & disable bluetooth every time I want to use
it
* the options where bluetooth integration is available sometimes are hidden
(e.g. the send-file action in the filemanager integration), so I do not learn
about them in my normal working modus
Requested features:
It would be nice to have the possibility of on-demand enabling of bluetooth:
when bluetooth integration is enabled, the options are always shown (using
static data where needed, like known other devices).
if an option then is selected it result in bluetooth being enabled on-demand.
if the action has a defined time scope, like file sending, bluetooth would be
disabled afterwards again (unless other services requested on-demand mode and
are still running, or the user actively set it to "always on").
Nice-to-have:
perhaps the user could be optionally also queried if they really want to turn
on bluetooth for that action (perhaps they are in an environment where this
needs consideration every time).
Reproducible: Always
