Hi, Is MTP well supported? I have exotic Sailfish phone and when connected it is recognized as Camera. When I try to write a file, it tells me it can not write to Camera, as it is unsupported.
What do you think I should do?
thanks for your ideas in advance
regards

Can you persuade the phone to emulate some other kind of protocol? USB mass storage would be a nobrainer, if the phone supports it.

If it is possible I don't know how, but my bet is it is something of those new fashion things. There is no USB offered: developers mode (which is networking over usb), I need to check if I disable it it would change behaviour.
Anyway the question is , because I looked in tdebase-tdeio-plugins-trinity and I found nothing regarding MTP:
Description: core I/O slaves for TDE This package includes the base tdeioslaves. They include, amongst many others, file, http, ftp, smtp, pop and imap. . It also includes the media tdeioslave, which handles removable devices, and which works best with procfs, udev, and udisks2/udisks/pmount. Media also extends the functionality of many other tdeioslaves. To use this service, please make sure that your user is a member of the plugdev group.
Another option would be that the phone is incorrectly handled as camera device and I need to change or add somewhere the vendor and product id, so that it recognizes it as USB. Not even sure if the phone would support this - I will try tomorrow with wi-n-do in the office.
So the question is if someone where has experience with MTP in TDE - would help me rule out this part of the game.
thanks

"write a file" ? upload a photo to the phone?
Hope this is on topic.
I use digikam to access my photos on my phone,or I did until I "upgraded" my phone and that feature is gone. Digikam depends on gphoto2, gphoto has some command line tools to communicate with devicesm
I have not tried adding my device to any file list of devices, ie usb.
$ gphoto2 -a Abilities for camera : Motorola Moto G (ID2) Serial port support : no USB support : yes Capture choices : : Capture not supported by the driver Configuration support : no Delete selected files on camera : yes Delete all files on camera : no File preview (thumbnail) support : no File upload support : yes

I have had moderate success with jmtpfs; it requires java. I mostly use ssh with an ssh client installed on my phone (a cheap Samsung device).

Thanks - this reminded me I have tried jmtpfs before. I now tried go-mtpfs - looks much nicer - no java. Worked out of the box.
I guess MTP is not really supported by TDE. I mean that it should be somehow integrated into the desktop, so that we click and mount/unmount as with simple USB memory stick
Does someone know how to define such actions - add this functionality? Perhaps it is just configuration somewhere.
Thanks and regards
