KDE Connect share intergration

[jonibim]

Feature Description

I think it would be a nice touch to have an option on the flameshot gui that directly sends a screenshot to your phone via KDE Connect. Spectacle already has this feature implemented as shown in this image

Cool, I wonder if this can be integrated with the existing "Open With" feature.

Hi, I am using glibc void-linux and the proposed fix in #2802 didn't complete the integration with kde-connect for me (not really sure if the problem related to the disto), however, I managed to get it working by crafting this desktop file in /usr/share/applications/kdeconnect_handler.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=KDE-Handler
Comment=KDE-Handler
Exec=kdeconnect-handler %U
Icon=kdeconnect
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=GNOME;Application;Development;
StartupNotify=true

Now, it appears in the open with launcher

another interesting approach is to use a script like this

#!/bin/bash

tmpfile=$(mktemp --suffix=.png)
/usr/bin/flameshot gui --raw > "$tmpfile"

# Save and Send
if [[ -s "$tmpfile" ]]; then
  dest=~/Pictures/$(basename "$tmpfile")
  mv "$tmpfile" "$dest"
  device=b29641e9917c472ab4a833f410bc90e4 # Device ID
  /usr/bin/kdeconnect-cli --share "$dest" -d "$device"
else
    rm -f "$tmpfile"
    exit 0
fi

# Get the Device ID
# device=$(/usr/bin/kdeconnect-cli --list-devices | grep '(paired and reachable)' | head -n1 | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{print $1}')

accepting the image would save it and send it to your other device. you can bind it to some shortcut on your keyboard for easy access

I can confirm, that the KDE Connect integration doesn't work anymore. At the time of #2802 it worked for sure!

It seems there was a change at KDE Connect. At least I see, that the desktop files had changed and because of this Flameshot doesn't list KDE Connect in the 'Open with' dialog anymore. ~~I'll try if I can find an option to automatically integrate it into the dialog again.~~ Alternatively this might be a candidate for future Flameshot plugins.

Edit: Once this pull request for kdeconnect-android is merged, I'd assume, that sharing might work out of the box without any change at Flameshot.
