Unable to delete unwanted device about gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi, you should be able to hide the icon using the setting Show Unpaired described here:

https://github.com/andyholmes/gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect/wiki/Preferences#show-unpaired

Other than that, unpaired devices should be automatically removed like in KDE Connect, when they are no longer connected.

Thanks for your answer.
For information, I had this red icon even after reboot of the host.

Yeah, I tried once or twice communicating between GSConnect and KDE Connect in a virtual machine, but although most things worked as expected, it got confused a fair amount too. It's not something I'd formally support at this point.

As far removing devices, I believe that GSConnect should do it if a device is unpaired when it disconnects, and I think it also prunes unpaired devices when the preferences window is closed. However, it never actually erases the information from GSettings, more just removes it from a list of devices to automatically try to connect to. There was I reason I did that, I just can't remember it anymore.

Does hiding unpaired devices solve the issue, well enough?

Hello, thanks for this amazing extension, I just leave this message so it could help others.

I switched from mconnect to gsconnect, my mconnect laptop "device profile" was listed as a device on gsconnect itself and was able to be paired (the laptop paired itself), I have been able to clean gsconnect's list by running kdeconnect-cli -l .

Andy, as you suggested, I have been able to manually hide unpaired icon switching off "Show unpaired" in settings. Thanks for your help.

@didierga Excellent, later I'll try an revisit some of the odd behaviour that happens in VMs, since those are pretty popular these days, so thanks for reminding me.

@z3bu Thanks, it helps a lot when users share tips. You're always welcome to add to the FAQ or elsewhere in the wiki (just remember to use simple language for folks who might be using Google Translate).
