thank you very much! I now see this is a library for bluez4. Thanks again!

Hmm, yes indeed using the KDEs bluez-qt than what is in mer
kf5bluezqt/bluez-qt seems to be of advantage. Perhaps kf5bluezqt/bluez-qt
need to be lifted to KDEs bluez-qt one. It looks like they dropped support
for bluez4 and added more features from bluez5.
As it is coming from KDE, it might be that 5.10 is the version of Qt they
are using. But indeed investigation is needed if it would work. This adds
on top of what was originally intended :). However now at least the path is
more or less clear kf5bluezqt/bluez-qt -> buteosyncfw ->
buteo-sync-plugins. Wish me joy!

Yes, indeed I recall reading the same, but was interested in what is planned
for the future.

Thanks and regards
