Description Nicolas Fella 2021-11-01 21:55:53 UTC
The bluetooth plugin uses the bluedevil-sendfile command under the hood. This is problematic for multiple reasons:
- It most likely doesn't work from flatpak'd apps
- It assumes that bluedevil is installed, which it usually isn't when the user is not using Plasma

We probably should use bluez-qt to talk to bluez directly from Purpose instead of going via a helper tool
