Preferences
Display devices as Indicators instead of in the User Menu
If enabled, each device will be given an indicator with an icon that represents the device type (smartphone, tablet or laptop) with an indication of its current state (this may be a colour or an emblem, depending on the icon theme). Controls for the device will be in popup menu available by clicking on the icon.
If disabled, the same menu found in the indicator popup will instead appear in the Mobile Devices submenu found in the Gnome Shell User Menu. This is the menu on the far right of the panel where Session Controls, Wi-Fi, Location and other services are found.
Display devices even if offline
If disabled, devices will be hidden in Gnome Shell when they are disconnected, but will still be visible and available for configuration in the Devices Page of the extension preferences.
Display devices even if unpaired
If disabled, devices will be hidden in Gnome Shell when they are unpaired, but will still be available for pairing in the Devices Page of the extension preferences as long as they are connected.
Send files from the file browser context menu
If enabled, a submenu will be added to the Nautilus context menu, listing the names of devices that are online, paired and have the "Share and receive" plugin enabled. Clicking on a device will send the currently selected files to that device.
Nautilus integration is an optional feature and requires Nautilus Python Bindings and GIR
- Fedora:
nautilus-python,nautilus-extensions - Ubuntu:
python-nautilus,gir1.2-nautilus-3.0
When enabled a symbolic link will be made from nautilus-gsconnect.py in the extension directory to ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/, after which a notification will appear advising you to restart Nautilus with button titled Restart (alternatively you may run nautilus -q in a terminal). Be warned, restarting Nautilus will close any currently open windows. The same notification will appear when disabled and the symbolic link will be removed.
