Title:
Alert user if "Receive files in Downloads folder over Bluetooth" is
not checked on incoming transfer
Status in gnome-user-share package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
To receive a file from a paired device using bluetooth you must select
"Receive files in Downloads folder over Bluetooth" in the Personal
File Sharing Preferences. If the user does not know this, they will
simply get connection errors on the bluetooth device (in my case an
Android phone) and no errors or notifications on ubuntu showing why
the error is occuring.
It would be nice to notify the user when an incoming file is being
requested and this setting is disabled that this option must be
enabled for transfers to work. This warning could then be disabled by
a "Don't show this anymore" message.
