Description conradjallen@pm.me 2025-06-23 02:13:42 UTC 
SUMMARY
On Win11 (23H2, build 22631.5472), attempting to receive a file from my phone (Galaxy S24+) or tablet (Galaxy Tab S8+) fails unless the entire parent directory structure already exists.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure the "Share and receive" plugin on a Windows PC to "Save files in:" a folder that doesn't already exist.
2. Try to send a file to this Windows PC.

OBSERVED RESULT
The file transfer is reported as a failure on the sending end and no file is transferred.

EXPECTED RESULT
The Windows PC should attempt to make the missing folder(s) before trying to copy the file.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Connect: 25.04.2
Windows 11 Version 23H2
KDE Frameworks: 6.15.0
Qt: Using 6.8.3 and built against 6.8.3
Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-llp64
Kernel: winnt 10.0.22631

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The "%1 in the path will be replaced with the specific device name" feature would be useful to me but that requires me to pre-make folders for every device and to update them if the device name ever changes.
