USB file transfer support for Mac OS X
asked 2013-12-18 15:31:33 +0300
As a Jolla user, how I can transfer media files and associated meta data between my Mac and Jolla phone?
kio-mtp is considered 'experimental' and you can't find it from any stable branches. But you can still get it from unstable: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/kde/kio-mtp
Of course, if you don't use KDE, you're probably better off using gvfs.

Would be nice get it working with iPhoto and iMovie without need to use Image Capture app on OS X. Getting access to other files would be nice too and preferably so that mounting a file system would be the solution. That would solve the iPhoto issue too.

jpek-m ( 2014-02-03 21:42:32 +0300 )editI have to say I'm rather shocked this does not work. I knew I was going to lack the bliss of iCloud syncing everything, but not even showing up as a USB drive (like the N9)? Basically it seems there is no user-friendly way of hooking up the Jolla with a Mac. Really unfortunate considering how popular Macs are these days.

avdwoude ( 2014-02-20 02:09:38 +0300 )editApparently the Jolla USB vendor/product IDs changed in the 1.0.4.20 update. When selecting "PC Connection" mode, the device comes up as 2931:0a05 now, but it used to be 2931:0a01. Only the latter was added to the development version of libmtp, so this might need yet another entry now.
