Description:

ioslave for mtp devices.

extract in a directory, cd into it then
$ gmake -f Makefike.cvs
$ ./configure
$ make && sudo make install

kio_mtp depends on libmtp, so be sure you have libmtp and libmtp-dev installed

restart kdeinit with "kdeinit" then connect the device, fire up konqueror, wait some seconds for the device to settle, type "mtp:/" in the address bar, enjoy.

***WARNING***
this is an ALPHA release, thrown in the wild just for _testing_
it is able _only_ to list files. no upload/download to/from the device.
your data should be safe, but BACKUP THEM, don't complain if this kioslave kills your cat.
***WARNING***

Hi,
would be nice, if the source files are in a folder. Unpacking your code spreads all source files into my build directory. Nevertheless seems to be a interesting project.

Glad to hear you're still working on this.

I'd be interested to know how you're dealing with the problem of being able to have multiple files with the same name in the same folder. I have written a convenient (for me at least) command line frontend to libtmp and I have just ignored the problem.

Just what we need! Great work.

It only works as root for me but then so does gnomad2 but I can live with that :)

Do you intend to continue to develop this?

I really hope so because this is something that could be extremely useful.

Thanks for starting this

I think I need to play with my udev/hotplug settings to get the non-root user to work as I don't have a usb or plugdev group but I'll get that working eventually.

Glad to hear you are still working on this. Excellent project!

You might want to consider explaining what mtp transfer gives people in your announcement on kde-apps though :) I think some people might not realise!
