Bluetooth program not storing non-image files in selected directory

blueman: BlueZ: Distribution: Mint 21 Desktop environment: Cinnamon

Just upgraded my Mint 20 to Mint 21 and found a problem with non image files transferred via bluetooth.

  1. Image files are stored in the selected directory
  2. PDF, txt, mp4, xl files etc., never make it to the selected directory,
  3. I found the missing files in this location... /home/anne/.cache/obexd/"file name.ext"

That is the temporary folder used during transfer, so it seems like the transfer does not complete successfully.

Please killall blueman-applet, then run blueman-applet --loglevel debug and provide the output of where you receive a file that does end up in the cache directory. Also provide dconf read /org/blueman/transfer/shared-path.
