Description GfEw 2024-10-24 23:53:27 UTC 
SUMMARY
The 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click at the bluedevil tray icon to open its menu, and make sure bluetooth is enabled.
2. Try to send a file to your system via bluetooth from an unpaired phone. 
3. Note you can't find your system in the available bluetooth neighbours list on the phone and realize that bluetooth visibility is off in your system.
4. In an attempt to turn it on, click at the bluedevil tray icon again, the quick one-stop shop for frequent bluetooth related tasks, and see what it has to offer.

OBSERVED RESULT
Although there is a checkbox to enable/disable bluetooth in the menu, there is none to toggle bluetooth visibility.

EXPECTED RESULT
Since (temporarily) making bluetooth visible is a basic, frequently encountered task with incoming bluetooth shares, there should be a checkbox available in the bluedevil tray icon menu, so visibility can be toggled there without opening (and then closing again) System Settings.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: MX 23 KDE
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The "Visible" checkbox would fit nicely next to the existing "Enable Bluetooth" checkbox in the header of the (left-click) tray menu, but it could also go in the right-click menu instead.
