SUMMARY I have my device connected and it works except when I click "browse device" it opens a file in Gedit named something like ~/.cache/kioexec/krun/12345_0/unnamed. The "12345" can be any four or five digit number. The file is zero bytes. It is owned by the user I'm logged in as. The MIME type is text/plain. "ls -al" give the permissions -rw-r--r--. I'm running XFCE on Debian. My computer does have Dolphin browser but I do not know how to tell KDE Connect to use it. My mom is running Xubuntu and her computer opens Angrysearch when trying to browse her phone. "Send file" does work correctly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Successfully pair Debian with XFCE PC to Android phone 2. Click browse device in the KDE indicator in the notifications area OBSERVED RESULT It opens a text file named something like ~/.cache/kioexec/krun/12345_0/unnamed EXPECTED RESULT It opens a file manager which can browse the phone's file system. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS OS: Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid x86_64 Kernel: 5.2.0-3-amd64 Shell: zsh 5.7.1 desktop: Xfce window manager: Xfwm4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION My mom has a similar problem on Xubuntu.
I can confirm this. It's a regression in KIO caused by https://phabricator.kde.org/D29782 I will report it to the relevant people
