nemo-kdeconnect

Nemo extension (based on a fixed nautilus-kdeconnect) for sending files to devices connected via KDE Connect.

KDE Connect is a service that connects your Android device with your Linux PC via Wi-Fi, enabling many features like shared clipboard, notification syncing, file sharing and media playback control. This extension provides file sharing support in Nemo via context menu (right-click menu).

Features

  • Send any number of files at once.
    (Directories are also supported and sent as ZIPs).
  • Send files to any connected device.

Warning

  • The created ZIP files are not deleted again, and blindly overwrite any already existing ZIP of the same name.
    (This is a bug in the original repositories this is forked from, and isn’t fixed because it’s much more complex than it should be. Patches are welcome!)

Installation

  1. On your PC, install the kdeconnect, python-nemo libnotify-bin and git packages.

    If you are using some Debian-based distribution that is not Linux Mint, you won't find the python-nemo package in the software repositories:

    1. Download and install the python-nemo package from the Linux Mint package archive site.
    2. Run sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nemo/extensions-3.0/libnemo-python.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nemo/extensions-3.0/ to create a compatibility symlink to newly installed the extension file.
  2. Install the KDE Connect app for Android as mentioned above:

    • Recommended, for your personal freedom: Fom F-Droid
    • Or in case of emergency: From Google Play
  3. Launch KDE Connect on your PC and on your Android device. Pair the two devices and enable the sharing plugin.

  4. Clone this repository and install the extension with the Nemo target.

    git clone https://github.com/navid-zamani/nemo-kdeconnect && make -C nemo-kdeconnect install TARGET=Nemo

  5. Re-start Nemo.
