In general we have MTP support included, but it was not working well as I tested it.
In Android 6 you need to specifically allow it on the device too.
I just tried Nautilus on Tumbleweed, that seems to open them (after clicking the accept dialog on the device).
Ciao, Marcus
Thanks, Marcus, this was very helpful, as I was just working on this same problem - connecting to my phone with a cable and transferring files back and forth. I am running KDE on my smaller laptop at the moment while out of the house, and trying to transfer through dolphin just wasn't working. I would always get the error "The MTP protocol died unexpectedly" with every attempt to transfer, and even if I hit the "allow" button on my phone it would happen again. I have gnome installed on this pc also, but I didn't try to switch over to gnome. Instead, after reading this, I just opened up Nautilus and was able to transfer the files as much as I liked, without any error. Sure beats having to boot up in windows to make the transfer. Using a cable, too, is so much faster than trying to do it over wifi, the cloud, or something else. I haven't tried kde-connect yet - I know a lot of folks like that, and maybe I will see about making that work next. -- George Box: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.1 | Plasma 5.4.7, Qt 5.7.0 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
