Sending files via bluez-gnome

Sending files via bluez-gnome

[David Sainty]

Hi people,

I notice that the "Send files to device" menu item off bluetooth-applet 
is only available if "obex-data-server" is in the $PATH.  But I get the 
impression that "obexd" is trying to provide the DBus service that the 
applet is actually after (point being that searching the $PATH for 
"obex-data-server" isn't a very good test for "obexd" presence :)

Sadly, either way (running either server) I can't seem to transfer files 
to my Blackberry.  But that could be a Blackberry problem, its Bluetooth 
support is pretty dismal...

Cheers,

Dave

Hi everyone,

As of newest bluez-gnome git, bluetooth-sendto is still not updated to 
obex-data-server 0.4 API (patch was already sent to this list in mail 
called "Make bluetooth-sendto functional with ODS SVN head"). I also 
wrote a wiki page to make migration easier: 
http://wiki.muiline.com/obex-data-server/migrating_to_0.4
I installed newest bluez-gnome just recently and I was pretty much blown 
away :) Why is OBEX server stuff disabled? The old code will work with 
Bluez 4.x and requires no changes.
And good luck with obexd, BTW :) If you are going for a full blown 
client API, you are up for a good waste of time.

Cheers,
Tadas
