Browsing device via MTP over USB confusing and very slow (using KDE)
When I connect the phone to my KDE desktop via USB and picking PC mode, a notification appears in KDE which confusingly lists two entries "Mit Dateiverwaltung öffnen" and "Mit Dateimanager öffnen" (similar German expressions for basically "open with file manager"). Turns out, one is for MTP, the other for PTP. PTP does not work at all (errors while browsing in different places) - I blame KDE - no worries. MTP works (on second try) but it takes ages to load each folder view. Not sure whether I should blame KDE or whether it's a Jolla issue.
In total makes me wish for a USB storage device mode (but I know that's problematic because the device would need to completely release usage...) USB developer mode does not seem to offer that either.
Anyway, not satisfactory like that right now.
