Hi Sheila,<br>
<br>
KDE Apps 20.12 and Ubuntu 20.12 are different things. They were
released in the same month and by "coincidence" they have the same
naming convention for releases.<br>
<br>
Since the KDE 20.12 apps were released at the same time as Ubuntu
20.12 (December 2020) and since Ubuntu needs to prepare packages
for the apps to include in the release months in advance, Ubuntu
20.12 doesn't have the KDE Applications 20.12 release.<br>
<br>
The Ubuntu packages webpage can give us the versions. It looks
like there is version 1.4 in <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=focal&searchon=names&keywords=kdeconnect">Focal</a>
(before we switched to using KDE Applications' release naming,
equivalent to 19.12) and KDE Connect 20.08 in <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=groovy&searchon=names&keywords=kdeconnect">Groovy</a>.<br>
<br>
From a different mail on this thread Aishen says that KDE Connect
20.12 is in the pre-release version of Ubuntu (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=focal&searchon=names&keywords=kdeconnect">hirsute</a>).<br>
<br>
kdesrc-build is designed to be fairly painless so it could be an
easy way to get this package updated. There used to be backport
repos of KDE software for Kubuntu but it doesn't seem to be
updated any more: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports</a><br>
<br>
P.S., (K)Ubuntu is a great desktop and server operating system if
you want stability because of this policy of using old-but-stable
versions of packages, but the downside is that you are stuck on
those old-but-stable versions :(<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Simon<br>

<div>Hi Sheila,<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is supported in the recent releases of KDE Connect.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I can't find the exact release announcement which
mentioned this feature.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The feature was committed to master in August (see: <a
href="https://invent.kde.org/network/kdeconnect-kde/-/commit/0b3d6bee85de52e228b29df6b68b8d8eca1527ff)"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://invent.kde.org/network/kdeconnect-kde/-/commit/0b3d6bee85de52e228b29df6b68b8d8eca1527ff)</a>
and I believe it's therefore in the 20.12 KDE Apps release.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ubuntu is intentionally slow to take new packages and, as
far as I understand, only takes bugfixes and not feature
upgrades for a particular version. You could look for a
backport repo but in general I would recommend looking for a
Ubuntu distro upgrade which has the package you want (or
perhaps switch distributions if that's the only solution)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You can also build from source, of course. Instructions
for how to do so are on the developer wiki <a
href="https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect#Linux_Desktop"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect#Linux_Desktop</a>
. You're likely to hit problems with missing dependencies
unless you try to use kdesrc to build.<br>

<div>I have looked on the wiki and forums but at least in
English have not seen any posts on this. When I send
pics or photos in my messaging app on phone, viewing the
SMS in KDEConnect shows unsupported message type and
doesn't display the pics. I have tried sending a .png
file (screenshot) by pasting into the message line in
the SMS app on my Ubuntu 20.04 system and nothing
happens. Is this still a work in progress to be able to
send photos in a message from KDEConnect? If it is
something already available, could you point me in the
direction of how to do so?<br>
