Hello!
I think this has been implemented in the last version 1.10.
Though, I'm not a fan of it. I have some questions about it:
- how much power does it need when only the foreground service is working?
- when active, the foreground service will automatically connect to known
computers (if connection lost). What about privacy issues? What is sent on the
network to detect known computers?
- how hard would it be to add an option for the user to disable this option
(and kill the app as soon as we swipe it)?
A bit of background to explain my unwillingness about this feature:
I use KDE Connect with my home computer (mainly in the morning or in the
evening). During the day, I leave to work, so I kill the app, and only reload
it in the evening.
I don't want a service to use battery when I know I won't use it. Also, I don't
want my phone to try to connect to any computer as soon as my Wifi is on...
Finally, I don't want to have a continuous notification for something I don't
use (when I'm at work, I don't care to know that KDE Connect is not connected
to any computer, I already know it). So I disabled this notification from the
settings. And now Android is telling me that KDE Connect is wasting battery and
that I should kill it...
Other than that, I really like this app :D Thanks for it!
Best regards,
