Bluetooth option missing when trying to share images

[Csernátoni Csaba]

In Gallery, I choose the "Images" view (default is "Events"). I tap one, it opens. I tap again, then the upper right corner sign for options. There is Share, choosing that will offer Facebook, Messages, Telegram, Dekko, Tagger, but no Bluetooth. Might be because the previous bug that I submitted? (Bluetooth disconnects in a few seconds).

We don't support sharing something via bluetooth at the moment. It's a missing feature we will implement in the future.

[Csernátoni Csaba (csaba-csernatoni)]

Ok
Then how do you exchange data via Bluetooth? What can be communicated via
Bluetooth?

For sharing files over bluetooth you're using the OPP profile. See https://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/obex-api.txt for API details. I know there was some work going on to implement this but it wasn't continued as we're currently migrating from BlueZ 4 to BlueZ 5.

Thank you, but I am no developer, so Bluez, OPP profile, API and many other
words are missing their definitions in my mind.
This is just a user's bug report.

That is fine. We will implement this once we come to it in our backlog.

[Simon Fels (morphis)]

Nothing in bluez we need to do for this. UI / content-hub has to implement this. We're providing everything needed for this already.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
