Edd,
Attached a prototype patch to show new features in the "GNOME Bluetooth
Device Viewer". I've made it a "Bluetooth Configuration" application and
so there are four sections (of which none is actually working except
"Remote devices"):
Hardware - Much like the Gnome "Network Configuration"
application. Shows Bluetooth hardware devices like
this:
Status Device Nickname Type
-----------------------------------------
Active hci0 BlueZ (0) USB device
Editing hci0 may for example provide a "Nickname"
setting.
Local Services - Selects the services that the computer
will provide to other Bluetooth devices. Looks like
this:
Service Name Startup Secure Connection
--------------------------------------------
File Transfer Auto Not required
Editing the "File Transfer" service may for example
provide "Exchange folder location" and so on.
Remote Devices - Much like the current "Device Viewer"
except I made the scrollers "automatic" to save space,
renamed "Scan" to "Search for devices" and removed
the "Help" and "Close" buttons (moved to the menu).
I imagine this section could manage paired devices
and so on.
Security - Sets the "Security manager mode" and "Pairing
mode".
There's a toolbar at the top to create, edit and remove items. I think
it might be useful much like the "Network Configuration" application
to manage hardware, local services and remote devices.
I suspect administrative (root) privileges will be required to manage
most of these settings.
What's your thoughts?
Thanks,
Fredrik
