switch from kdeconnect to mconnect or similar #135

Closed fossfreedom closed 6 years ago

fossfreedom commented 6 years ago

Hi there,

from your experience do you think it would be possible to get indicator-kdeconnect to use mconnect or similar rather than kdeconnect?

The reason for the question is that I'm interested if a GTK based desktop can avoid all the Qt based stuff from kdeconnect.

Would it be a complete rewrite and reimplementation?

Hi, no it's not complicated. It need only a server, like gconnect and mconnect, that send events to it via DBus. Indicator needs to change the signals that it subscribe to the new server signals, and rewrite some Dbus call methods.

The problem is gconnect not implement Dbus, and both projects seems stopped.

I analize the situation, I am not promising anything because cons may arise, but I will try, to implement over gconnect.
