I don't want to change the title but propose you don't call it "soft unpair". I
think disconnect is sufficient.
I agree that this feature is needed but for other reasons. What about the use
of kdeconnect in a small office or household?:
1. members want to quickly share among them a file without setting up a network
share.
2. members don't want to be permanently connected to avoid clipboard paste
conflicts
3. privacy issues in Android
Concept of clipboard paste conflict can be described as follows. User A and B
are paired and share the clipboard. Both are editing a document and do a lot of
corrections using copy/cut and paste. User A copies a text and without knowing
user B does the same right after. Then user A pastes not his own copy but that
of user B and is confused.
The privacy issue in Android I discovered while using the virtual keyboard.
Just above the virtual keyboard there is an area that shows a button of
recently cut/copies text from the clipbaord that allows you to paste it by
tapping it. It shows a fragment of the text and it was constantly changing
while I was answering a chat message. I discovered they were not the usual
suggestions while you enter your text but it was copied text of my wife while
she was editing on her paired device
In this aspect I think that kdeconnect counts too much on individual use and it
does not on use in households or small office teams. There should at least be
an easy disconnect option and auto-connect should be optional per device. That
way you can minimally distinguish between your own devices and that of others
and maintain some respect and privacy.
Like @leftcrane explains, unpair is too drastic and something like (manual)
connect and disconnect would be desirable.
