#32Does anyone have a quick and easy way of getting this running on OSX, or can suggest an alternative? Currently trying to get this to work via Craft ( https://community.kde.org/Craft ) and hoping for the best meanwhile
Currently I'm using Soduto https://soduto.com/ and it's working ok, although only basic functionality is covered.

#33I know my message won't be well received here but I wish KDE had a leadership with a pair of balls that could say to developers "stop losing your time on these side projects and polish the core desktop and libraries". There are so many pet projects in KDE while the desktop rots in its instability and lack of polish...
Speaking of balls, please don't be a dick. I totally get it if you want the absolute stable experience (although, if your install of plasma is that unstable, my bet is that it's poorly configured, either by you or by your distribution defaults), but this is only an acceptable expectation for software you pay for - or on which you fix the bugs yourself.
I'm saying such comment is not OK because there's nothing as demotivating for a freesoftware developer than being blame for what they think is their gift to the world. With such comment, you're not only being dismissive of other people hard work, you're killing it for all of us as you may very well demotivate some core developers, or contribute to do so. This is basically negative contribution.
Those guys do an amazing job. Many thanks to them.

I am not blaming the developers at all, I am blaming management/leadership. Every team needs a strong leader to call the shots, which KDE evidently doesn't have.
I am purposely putting aside the fact that (some of[0]) the developers that work on KDE don't get paid, because I believe saying "this software is bad and that is acceptable and normal because it's open source" is a shitty, defeatist attitude that doesn't bring us anywhere.
[0]I don't really know if any of the KDE developers are being paid. I know they lost most of their funding years ago, but I don't know the current situation. Given the status of the project, I assume there are no full time developers.

#35This is an astonishingly useful tool -- I've been using it for years, and I'm always impressed that it's well maintained and getting new features. From the way my music player (Clementine on KDE) pauses for a call, incoming or outgoing - the media controller from the phone, sms pop-ups on the computer, the file browser and two-way sharing, clipboard mirroring, and a nifty 'find my phone' feature (your computer trigge…

Yes, that pause on call feature is pretty cool. If you have the plasma-integration for your browser [1] installed it can even pause your Amazon Prime Video (or Youtube, ...). Assuming you are watching a video on the Amazon website and your phone rings, the video pauses automatically. As soon as the call is over, the video resumes automatically :D Sadly Spotify does something to not let the browser detect how to contr…
You probably just need to hook into dbus. Do you know if it produces a media key? You can just add this script: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/spotify#D-Bus

#37“pauses for a call, incoming or outgoing”
This is a pretty standard feature on most mobile operating systems. It’d be like saying “I like the how I get a notification when I receive an sms”

Does it also pause youtube (or any other in browser multimedia) or other platforms?

This pauses the video or music on your _computer_ when you receive a call on your phone.
