Bug Description
When I plug my smartphone with USB and I unlock it, the device notifier widget shows two options to be used in order "to open"my device storage: one is for MTP and one for PTP (see attached screenshot).
Issue #1. There's no way to know which entry is for MTP and which one is for PTP. I need to click on both options in order to know.
Issue #2. My device can only have one working mode at a time: either MTP or PTP, but not both.
For issue #1 there is a simple solution which is not to simply print "Open with File Manager" twice, but to write also which protocol is to be used, like "(MTP) Open with File Manager" or "Open with MTP within File Manager".
I attach here also my device's USB details as reported by "lsuss -vv" in all three modes:
MTP, PTP and "charge oly".
