MTP Support

Open MadeOfMagicAndWires opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

I really like this idea, but it's somewhat limited by the fact that devices need to be mounted the regular way, which is fine for dumb devices, but most newer ones like phones usually don't mount this way, and don't have a fixed mountpount you can easily refer to.

Adding MTP support would greatly improve this plugin's ubiquity and would make it a lot more helpful with never devices.

This is an amazing idea! Unfortunately I do not have an MTP device to test things and neither did I find a piece of software that simulates an MTP device. This will make development tricky.

What I can propose is, that I provide a skeleton for the implementation and you could test and improve things. (Of course your more than welcome to contribute all the MTP code yourself). Otherwise you might have to wait until I get my hands on an MTP-capable device.

Sounds good to me! I can definitely test things out, and although I'm not the most the amazing python programmer, and terrible at reading other people's code, I'll see what I can learn about this.

Is this still planned?
