Bug ID: 445574
Summary: DBus Access to Refresh Button in KDE Connect
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: common
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: g...@g4b.org
Target Milestone: ---
Flags: corner_case+
SUMMARY
***
KDE Connect sometimes loses connection over the network; I tracked it down to
most likely being due to packet loss, which is induced by our WiFi situation
(overlapping networks) which we can't change.
Finding devices again sometimes takes several minutes, once the connection
breaks.
However, pressing "Refresh" in the KDE Connect Settings below the list of
devices on the host usually fixes this problem instantly.
However unfortunately, pressing the refresh button cannot be automated easily.
I ask to simply expose this refresh Action via DBUS, if possible. This would
allow a script that checks our usecase of using KDE Connect on a keyboard-less
kiosk system to poll refresh, if no phone is connected every x sec, so we can
at least reduce the outage time of network errors.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set up KDE Connect by adding IP Adress
2. Have bad WiFi Connection
3. Wait until connection is re-established
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: latest Neon, however this issue persists since 3 years.
