[Bug 1458491] [NEW] indicator-bluetooth misses controls to enable file transfer

 

Public bug reported:

The default settings of `indicator-bluetooth` make file transfers fail
without feedback (not too great, but not the issue here). One has to
install `bluemon` and enable file transfer options like ~"allow
read/write" and ~"allow trusted devices". The user expects `indicator-
bluetooth` to offer a sufficient set of options to transfer file which
is a quite basic task for bluetooth connections. The options should be
added to sufficient hints displayed in the application (e.g. a hint that
the settings aren't implemented yet and that one needs to manage the
device with `bluemon` like described above).
