KDE 4.10 upstream supports MTP via KDE-KIO-slave. http://www.afiestas.org/workspaces-gain-mtp-support/ 2. It doesn't work with openSUSE 12.3 (RC1) x64. (tested on Qomsio X300 hardware) 3. This bug is critical, because it disallows openSUSE to enter the Post-PC era, and you will not be able to copy files to/from your Android 4.x devices. History: USB MTP (universal serial bus - media transfer protocol) was developed to replace the USB Mass Storage. Problem with mass storage is that it is not reliable - it is block-device-level protocol. And if PC goes power down (or blue screen, on certain O.S) the data on the smartphone will be damaged, and there is no "scandisk" on the smartphone, so it will become unreadable. MTP overcomes this problem by being filesystem level protocol (as opposed to block device), and is supported since Windows hasta-la-Vista. (since 2006) The result: Google decided to remove USB Mass Storage from Android 4.x devices. Newer Android devices support MTP-only. MTP is a killer feature, and should be fixed in 12.3 *before release*. -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
