Bulk transfer as requested in T17796 Thanks for the suggestion, and I'm sorry no one looked at it until now. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time figuring out what exactly is being requested here. Can you please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting and submit a new bug report that describes a single discrete problem or suggestion, with any supporting details needed to understand it? If you read through that wiki page and don't feel like it's helped at all, I'd recommend posting a question at https://discuss.kde.org/c/help/6, and hopefully the people there can help you move forward. The suggestion is to have a GUI to connect to a wifi network using WPS (like in GNOME for example). I'm not familiar with what GNOME does. Can you explain the UX that they have which you'd like us to implement? Not the OP, but: There's a couple of forms of WPS - push button and PIN. PIN is little-used and probably isn't what the OP is after. Push button WPS is when you physically press a button on a router while attempting to connect to it from a client device. This allows client devices to connect to Wi-Fi without having to type in the password, but is secure in the sense that you need to have physical access to the router to initiate this. Some client device UIs support this and some don't. It would be great if Plasma was able to support this. I've not seen what Gnome does, but typically on the UI, after you click on the network name, underneath where you could type in the password there will be a prompt like "Or press a button on the router to connect via WPS".

That's what I was looking for, thanks. |
