https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214869 ------- Comment #3 from andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de 2006-10-25 07:04 MST ------- OK, I tested bluez-gnome - with disappointing results. :-( bluez-gnome does not seem to have a "Send to" feature, it seems to be for receiving incoming connections only. I looked at the source tarball and that does indeed have a /sendto subdirectory, but unfortunately the following in Makefile.am: noinst_PROGRAMS = bluetooth-sendto So the bluetooth-sendto program is built, but not yet installed. I tried it nevertheless, and it's quite obvious why this programm is not yet installed: Right now it's more or less just a placeholder which displays a dialog, but does not send anything. Even worse, that part of gnome-bluetooth which bluez-gnome could replace (incoming connections) works just fine in gnome-bluetooth. Just the outgoing connections don't work. I found out something else. If I try to send a file using nautilus-sendto (which uses gnome-bluetooth), leave the dialog where it doesn't find any devices open, and then run kbtobexclient (from kdebluetooth) to send any file to the desired device, then the nautilus-sendto dialog finds the device in exactly that moment when kbtobexclient starts the file transfer, and further file transfers with nautilus-sendto work afterwards. So it seems that gnome-bluetooth just blocks itself while establishing the connection, but as soon as it's *somehow* there, the transfers are working. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
