This is the blocking bug in TpQt4: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37034 I can work on that bug, but I require some feedback from TpQt4 developers. oggis_, andrunko: ping ^ :D Moreover the only connection managers that support the URI property at the moment seem to be gabble and salut therefore, file transfer will be supported only by those connection managers (unless we add some sort of ugly hack). Most of the handler is already written, therefore I believe that if TpQt4 bug is resolved we can ship it with the first release. By the way, as discussed on irc, I'm implementing it as a one-shot file transfer handler (no daemon), therefore as soon as the channel is received it will unregister from D-Bus and start the file transfer and exit as soon as it finishes. If a new file transfer channel is received, a new instance of the file transfer handler will be started by MC. I believe that this is the best way to do it because: 1) A crash in one process won't kill all the other file transfers. 2) There is no daemon running all the time and no need to check if it is possible to exit or if there are more transfers running. 3) There shouldn't be racing condition with handler exiting/new file transfers channel sent by MC (I'm not sure if there could be a racing condition with handler unregistering/new file transfer channel sent by MC). If someone believes that this is wrong or has anything to tell about this issue, please speak now... :D > *270673: Support FileTransfer channel types [ in approver] > * > I've not heard of any work on this. Probably waiting on the > channelhandler. I think it's pretty trivial though. I started writing that, and I believe that also George K. started, but the main issue for this is that popup notifications can be hidden by the user...
