KDE Connect window vs. notification popup menu

The KDE Connect actions lack something obvious: browse the Android device. I was surprised to not see that option listed in the KDE Connect window.

Somehow I clicked on the notification, then on the hamburger menu next to the name of my device, and did find "Browse...". Pretty hidden. Is there a good reason to not surface that in the main window?

Same for showing SMSes.

Also, "Ring my phone" - is that the same as "Find Device"?

Nit: the capitalization of the menu items is variable, "SMS Messages", vs. "Ring my phone" vs. "Find Device".

At some point the actions were on the main window, I don't really remember why that was changed.

The string inconsistencies are a good point, thanks

I've just wasted about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to browse my phone, because that action isn't in the KDE Connect window, but only in the system tray popup menu.

I think browsing the phone is important enough to be listed along with "Share File", "Remote input", "Find Device" etc.
