Description jonas.harer 2025-06-03 05:01:14 UTC
Hello everyone,
if I want to send a file to another’s device, I have to pair these devices, send the file and delete the connection. Since this is a very elaborate way, I would like if KDE connect could support something like one-time connections. For example, when I right-click on a file, it would great to have all discovered devices in the “send using KDE connect” menu. If I choose on (or maybe more) KDE connect should automatically connect to these devices, using an one-time connection that can only send files, and ask if they want to receive this file. After the file has been sent or the connection has been refused by the user, the connection should automatically be removed.
Furthermore I could imagine other operations working in a similar way. E.g. I would like to allow a certain device access to a folder for the next 10 minutes or allow remote control from a certain device for this session.
