And for a while, that is how it worked. KDE Connect on Android _used to_ publish a share target per connected, paired device, so not only could I select to share directly to my desktop PC by name, but that target would be stored as the default "Share..." quick-link by e.g. Google Chrome. That way, once selected, I could send another URL to the same paired device by simply opening the browser menu and tapping the KDE Connect icon next to "Share...". But at some point that seems to have stopped working, or at least it no longer works that way on my current Android 12 device. The APIs for doing this evolved some, in recent releases — in Android 6–9 the Direct Share API [1] was used to publish device targets, but that was supplanted by the newer Sharing Shortcuts API [2] starting with Android 10. Sharing Shortcuts is rather different from Direct Share, and the app may not be fully up to date with those newer APIs. There's some guidance on using Sharing Shortcuts, along with making them backwards-compatible with Android <= 9 Direct Share, here: https://developer.android.com/training/sharing/receive#sharing-shortcuts-api [1]: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0#direct-share [2]: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/highlights#sharing_shortcuts -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
