gnome-bluetooth: "Send via bluetooth" missing in n

Message

This has really puzzled me.

Since I upgraded to gnome 2.10, the send via bluetooth in nautilus's context menu is missing.

I have:
gnome-blutooth
bluez-libs/utils
openobex

/etc/init.d/bluetooth starts and stops fine at boot

gnome-obex-server starts and works when I send a file from my mobile. Also gnome-obex-send works and I can send a file to my mobile fine.
Call me anal, but I really want the pretty menu in Nautilus to work.

Anyone have any ideas?

Check out the gnome bluetooth mailing list where this has already been discussed. In short, it uses bonobo which was deprecated in 2.10.

Thanks for the info, I just stumbled onto the problem myself. Any idea when/if the send-it menu will be back?

I found little information out there, even after reading the mailing lists about when it may be back. Though that was when I first posted this.

It also took me a while to find the command line alternative! (It's gnome-obex-send <file>).
Obviously this is what Nautilus ultimately calls anyway.

Thanks, I'm using gnome-obex-send now as well. But it's hardly as comfortable as the previous nautilus integration. Let's hope we'll get it back soon!

Any news on this one?

I wrote a little nautilus script to bring back the missing "send via bluetooth" kontextmenu entry.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# send selected file via Bluetooth. Workaround for
# gnome-bluetooth with gnome 2.10
# Matthias Böhm <m.boehm@mbnetworx.net>
filepath=$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS
gnome-obex-send $filepath

This works fine for me so far. Hope this might help you to.

Matthias

Ok, I'll check it out. I'm now updating my laptop and that will take a while.

I heard something about the problem being fixed in Gnome 2.12, which will be out in September.

Yes, I saw this too in a pre-release tour: http://www.gnome.org/~davyd/gnome-2-12/

Thanks for the idea narayan.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

btsend=$(echo -e "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" | awk 'BEGIN {
FS = "\n" } { printf "\"%s\" ", $1 }' | sed -e s#\"\"##)
eval "gnome-obex-send $btsend"

You'll need this script to send files with spaces and/or multiple files

*Note remember place this in your nautilus scipts folder and make the file executable.
File-->Scripts-->Open Scripts Folder

Where exactly do you find that folder?

EDIT: Found the folder my self, ~/.gnome/nautilus-scripts

gnome-bluetooth: "Send via bluetooth" missing in n

gnome-bluetooth: "Send via bluetooth" missing in n

Workaround

Gnome 2.10 and Gnome Bluetooth

Thanks
