Bug ID: 513594
Summary: kdeconnect-cli exits before file transfer is done
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version First 25.04.2
Reported In:
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: common

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
`kdeconnect-cli` exits before the file transfer is done. This makes it hard to
use programmatically, since we can never reliably know when KDE Connect is
finished transferring the file. Is it possible to add a simple `--wait`
argument that makes the process wait until the file transfer is done before it
returns?
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Run `kdeconnect-cli -n "$deviceName" --share "./$filename"`, where `$filename`
is a large file
OBSERVED RESULT
`kdeconnect-cli` returns near-instantly while the system notification UI
indicates the file is still being sent.
EXPECTED RESULT
An argument to implement blocking behavior. In a script, if any logic after the
`kdeconnect-cli` invocation relies on the file transfer being finished, it will
fail.
