Open jidanni opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

README.md says

FUSE interface
mkdir ~/my-device
./aft-mtp-mount ~/my-device

Mention remove dot when using Debian package.

Qt user interface
Start application, choose destination folder and click any button on toolbar.

Mention how to start the application. Wait,

$ ls -tc /usr/bin | head
aft-mtp-cli
aft-mtp-mount
android-file-transfer

OK, must be the third one.

hmm, interesting, I provide android-file-transfer.desktop as a part of the installation, it should be enough to register in the menu of your favourite WM/DE.

There is mention of the GUI. I had no idea what this was or where to find it. Then entered "android" from the applications menu.

My point is, a few lines on what the GUI is and where to find it would be great. I looked ...

ls -al /usr/share/applications/android-file-transfer*

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 249 Dec 30 2020 /usr/share/applications/android-file-transfer.desktop

cat /usr/share/applications/android-file-transfer.desktop

[Desktop Entry] Name=Android File Transfer (MTP) Comment=Transfer files from/to MTP devices Exec=android-file-transfer Icon=android-file-transfer StartupNotify=false Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Utility;System;FileTools;Filesystem;Qt;
