Bug ID: 509038
Summary: Clipboard (and possibly others) plugin does not turn
on or off until device unpair
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version First 25.08.0
Reported In:
Platform: CachyOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The program no longer turns plugins on or off without pairing and unpairing the
device. The expected behavior up until now was when I go to KDE Connect ->
Settings, and turn a plugin on or off (in this case, Clipboard is the only one
I tested), it would start working immediately and I could turn it on, paste the
clipboard content to my phone, and turn it off again. Now, I need to change the
on/off state in settings, then unpair the phone, pair it again, and only then
the state of clipboard sharing will change. This affects both PC -> phone and
phone -> PC. Thus, if I want to send only a single string to my phone's
clipboard, I have to:
-Open the KDE Connect setting program on my PC
-Click on my device
-Click Plugin Settings
-Tick or untick Clipboard sharing
-Go back
-Unpair
-Immediately re-pair
-Get my phone and confirm pairing
-Share the string I want sent into my PC or phone
-Do it all again to turn clipboard sharing off
-Unpair and re-pair again
Another issue is that pairing a device randomly doesn't throw up a notification
on Android 15 anymore, not sure if that's a separate bug in itself or how to
debug it, but it also means manually opening the app to accept the pairing.
I can't see in a changelog if this is a bug or an intended change, but as you
can see it's a lot of work just to paste one link to my phone if this is indeed
intended behavior.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to turn on clipboard sharing
2. Fails, unpair the device
3. Pair, now it works
OBSERVED RESULT
See above, needs many steps to enable sharing
EXPECTED RESULT
Enable clipboard sharing and start sharing strings, without having to unpair
the phone.
