Hello Coshibu,

• I still not agree with adding Setting menu to the indicator, the reason is https://github.com/vikoadi/indicator-kdeconnect/pull/11 . And it will be added to Application Menu in the KDE Connect master (for next version)
• Please create Pictures, Music, DCIM, etc folders, if its not yet exist, so that user doesn't left uninformed of what happened
• I think the right term for "home folder" is "phone storage" Thanks

Hello vikoadi, Thanks for your feedback. I will implement your suggestions one of these days. This is a fun exercise for me to learn coding, so it might take a while. I will remove the settings menu, although I really would prefer it. I run the indicator in unity and it took me a while to figure out to how to get to the settings. Besides, there are many indicators that have such an entry: Power settings, Sound settings, Time settings, Skype, Owncloud, Dropbox.

Hi Coshibu,

We now have some duplicated code for browse_*. It will be simpler if you can create a new function public void browse_path (string path) and call it from respective functions.

to check and and create folder you can create one more function

private bool afford_folder_exist (string path) {
    File folder = File.new_for_path (path);
    if (!folder.query_exists ())
        return folder.make_directory ();
    else
        return true;
}

and call that function before open_file

and don't forget to change 'home folder' into 'phone storage'

i think thats all, if you have problem don't hesitate to contact me, (but sorry for the downtime if i just give respond after 6 days)

kind regards, Viko Adi R
