--- Comment #5 from Kubuntiac <user...@xymail.info> ---
Why so there is. I didn't even see / look for that button there before. If I
may make a couple of UX suggestions:

1. Rather than what looks like an information "i" icon, I'd suggest either a
crosshairs icon (ie circle with four short horizontal / vertical lines
intersecting the circle) or better yet, the near universal "location pin" icon
(a la Google maps) circular top, pointy bottom.

2. Add a button to activate the feature one the KCM screen I screenshotted,
next to "Send ping" and in the infobox that users open by clicking to the right
of where the plugin is activated (again on the screenshot).

Even if the functionality isn't active yet, as a user, I still had trouble
finding the UI elements that were present to activate this feature.

That said, I am *thrilled* that this plugin exists. The commercial solutions in
this space are terrible and I hate having to give some opaque blob
administrator rights over my phone just for this feature. (Yeah, I know,
Android itself is still far from 100% FOSS, but why make it worse?).

Way back, when you asked about possible future features of Kdeconnect, this is
the *only* feature I was desperately hoping would happen, so I'm super excited
that it's coming. I just hope that it still works in battery saver mode, or at
least warns users to set it to not be optimized if it doesn't (once again, an
issue on the current commercial offerings).
