#1809 Slow, really slow. Unacceptably slow.

[Anonymous]

I am transferring my music library to my phone. I'm using mtp-sendfile to transfer the files.

It seems that transferring one file takes about one second. (less actually, too fast to get a clear view of the progress: it starts and its done. But each invocation of mtp-sendfile takes 30 seconds. So it seems that I'm looking at a 10 hour transfer time for my 1200 files.....
That is really, REALLY not user-friendly.

I ran
"mtp-files --version"

to get the version number for this bug report. This corrupted the file-transfer in the other window....

But these tools are just examples. They open a new session to the device for every invocation, that is why it is slow. If you use e.g. the Gnome VFS or KDE dito GUI it will transfer all files in one session I think that will be way faster. If you don't like GUIs then discuss with some developers to do proper tools I guess?
