iPhoto does not support Jolla, it does open and shows some camera but shows 0 pictures to import.

I'm using a Mac and I haven't found a way to transfer files between Jolla and OS X. I can't be arsed to take the SD card out every single time. SFTP probably requires developer mode?

Edit: seems like I can use Bluetooth to send files... Sending one file at a time at a whopping 50 kb/s speed, yay...

There isn't "built-in" options, except bluetooth sync for some data. You can select Email, Calendar and Microsoft Exchange apps for installation from the welcome wizard if you want syncing. Email supports IMAP/SMTP. If you want other syncing you need to install Microsoft Exchange app.

Hopefully Jolla will release support for CalDav and CardDav in the future.

There is rsync 3.1.0+git1 on the command line.

You can configure that behaviour off in iPhoto->Preferences->General...

Connecting camera opens [none]

My list of Mac/Jolla annoyances grows +1.

Hopefully that's something Jolla can fix as I've not had issues with most cameras that implement transfer via MTP.

I found that iPhoto on Mac works for camera photos (those in subdirectory Camera), but not for images in Pictures.
Still it's mostly useless as that's only for photos.

I suppose they'll leave it for Apple to fix...

the fact that non or lamost non of audio players support them. I'm using sftp very much for some backup or photos or something like that. But transfering few GB of music song by song or album by album from my filemanager is just something I don't want to do.

Do you have the latest version of iPhoto? Because mine isn't the latest and I can't get it to recognize any pictures taken with Jolla.

And one from my side: the cause of this has been identified and fixed (we hope!) - now pending release in a future update.

Apart from speed, mass-storage is still very useful when you need to use your phone as a USB flash memory, especially with devices that have no idea of what MTP (which is also far slower than direct USB transfer) is like many 'smart'-TVs and such.

Well, apart from legacy reasons and "don't fix it if it ain't broken" mentality (and it is broken in this particular instance). Sure thing, allowing such thing won't make the above mass-storage problem (legacy) solved, but there is no real reason why ext4 cannot be extended (it just needs a bit smarter journaling) to allow mounting by multiple hosts. Then you can stick an ext4<->FAT translation layer on top of it for legacy purposes and be done with it.
I agree with the fact that USB mass -storage is usually more useful. However the mounting point is not moot as you state, neither is adding a FAT translation layer trivial. If it al was as simple as you state it would already be done.

Anyway there are a few different things in the pipeline to improve on this problem. You ask, we try to please:

Just don't expect this to work for you perfectly yet. This needs more time for polishing and bugfixing. The whole fs mount handling needs to be reviewed in detail as tests show there are still some issues there.


And atm MTP does work on most current OSes with the notable exception of the "ever broken when it comes to widely accepted standards" OS X. So the plugging in USB to exchange files use case works.
