Zouip - Clipboard sharing between UT and linux desktop
-
@arubislander
Yep it is a kde connect functionnality, the main one for my use
The difference is kde connect on desktop can only connect with its android counterpart, zouip can also share clipboards between two desktops.The video link should be ok, i think it was transcoding.

@tonton_ thanks for the explanation.
The link works now too. Great effort -
Wow! Very cool! Good video demo - your app looks very functional already. Copying folders will be a nice addition. Looking forward to using!
Merci bien! -
@wally thanks for the kind words !
For now it is not usable because it is not a proper app ^^ just two daemon scripts launched manually !
I'll be polishing them before turning them into proper app (hard part for me, don't know qml yet, and pretty noob with tkinter or other UI libs...)
Yep i'm looking into the folder copying, there are a few difficulties about that, but looking good
Also looking on notifications for now, i'll keep posting in this thread the advancements, if anyone interested.
Cheers ! -
Got the folders to work, less difficulties than expected ! And i got to say, being able to just copy an entire folder (like the Picture folder) from my phone, and seeing them appeared magically on my desktop is a good feeling
It has its drawbacks (copying a huge folder by error) so i implemented a size limit to prevent that.
The size limit acts on all "individual entries" : if you select a folder, it should not exceed this size limit to be copied, but you can enter it, and select files one by one to copy them.
Example :Folder (4mo) --- Image1 (2mo) --- Image2 (2mo)
With a 3 mo limit, i can't copy the folder directly, but i can "multi select" through the file explorer the two images to copy them
What do you think about this ?

I also tested some command exec through the same system, an example in this little video : sms sending
https://makertube.net/w/wQxDonmEU6Y9d5dLc7UP3EStill a lot to think about this but i was picturing some kind of command preset, could be neat, created by user, with some custom fields !
I don't want to dig too deep in getting contacts from the phone, i'm afraid of a rabbit hole... but sending sms could be nice...
If you have any idea don't hesitate ! -
Wow! You make fast progress! Sending SMS from a proper keyboard does seem like a very handy feature. I couldn't see the video, it says server/network error or file format not supported.
For my use, I think a 3MB limit is too small, and would make copying many folders impossible. I would appreciate the option to copy a large folder and just walk away. But everyone probably has different preferences, and I could always select all files in a given folder. I don't know how much work it adds to make size limits optional, or perhaps instead of size limits to add a feature to cancel a transfer in progress?
But honestly, many of these things could always be adjusted after an initial release, and you should make it work as suits you. I'm sure there will be much more useful input if/when it makes it to the Appstore.
I wish I could offer help with QML, or anything, but I'm very much a non-dev user. I try to donate here and there to do my part, but learning to code is off the table until I get more free time.
Meanwhile, much appreciation to those like you who're making handy new things! -

Hi sorry for the video, my peertube instance seems to be off these days, i changed the link, it should work fine now !Concerning the size limit, it is a user config settings, if you set it to 0, there is virtually no limit The setting is per receiver unit, you can have your computer receive only small files, and your phone every files, no matter the size. My question was more about the way the size limit is handled (limits a folder or a file, not every file in a folder)
Cancel a transfer in progress will be hard i think, but that is a good idea to keep in mind !
Thanks for the appreciation words

@tonton_ Ah, I see. A customizeable file size limit is great!

Ugly but usable and cross-platform tkinter UI coming together for desktop !
