<title>Bluetooth/SDP-tdeioslaves: Search for devices and services</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The bluetooth- and sdp-tdeioslaves let you search for other bluetooth devices and
|
|
list and use their services with konqueror (or any other file manager that can
|
|
use KDE's File IO framework).

<title>Using the Bluetooth/SDP kioslves</title>
|
|
<para>To search for devices, simply enter
|
|
<ulink url="bluetooth:/">bluetooth:/</ulink> with konqueror. You will immediately
|
|
see an entry for your own system, then after a few seconds other
|
|
discoverable devices will appear one after another.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
You can also click the Bluetooth-Icon in the konqueror sidebar in
|
|
the "Services"-tab, next to the LAN- and Audio-CD-Browser.
|
|
If you can't see the icon it might help to reset the sidebar
|
|
with <guimenuitem>config-button -> Add new -> Rollback to system default</guimenuitem>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
For devices to appear, they must not only be turned on, but
|
|
also be in discoverable mode. Otherwise you can connect to them when
|
|
you know the address, but they won't respond to an inquiry.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
When you select a device you will get a listing of the services
|
|
published by the device. If the service is supported by kdebluetooth,
|
|
you can click it to launch the appropriate application.
|
|
Unless you've disabled it, konqueror will pop up the common file-open-dialog.
|
|
In case the service is not known, you will get an open-with-dialog instead.

If you know what you're doing, you can also open a given service
|
|
(kbthandsfree for instance) with a bluetooth application that was not
|
|
designed for that specific profile by right clicking the service
|
|
icon and select open with. Every service, that deals with AT-commands
|
|
over rfcomm can be opened with <command>kbtserialchat</command> for instance.

|
|
You can also change the association between applications and (known) profiles
|
|
in the same way you select which appliation shall open mpeg-movies or pdf files:
|
|
tdeio_obex assigns mimetype to each listed profile and each client application
|
|
of kdebluetooth is associated with the profiles it supoprts.
|
|
Support for yet unrecognized porfiles can be added with special desktop
|
|
files in <filename>$PREFIX/share/services</filename>, like
|
|
<filename>sdpmime-serial-port-profile.desktop</filename> for instance.

<para>tdeio_sdp has no support for nested browse groups currently. This won't
|
|
be hard to add, but wasn't need so far.</para>

You can not connect to services of your own system by simply clicking
|
|
the "localhost" icon. This was added just as an easy way to see
|
|
what services are published by your system.
