# Bluetooth-tdeioslaves: Devices and services

The bluetooth-tdeioslaves let you handle bluetooth devices and list and use their services with konqueror (or any other file manager that can use TDE's File IO framework).

## Using the Bluetooth tdeioslves

To search for devices, simply enter bluetooth:/ with konqueror. You will immediately see an entry for your own system.

You can also click the Bluetooth-Icon in the konqueror sidebar in the "Services"-tab, next to the LAN- and Audio-CD-Browser. If you can't see the icon it might help to reset the sidebar with config-button -> Add new -> Rollback to system default

The devices must have been detected and paired, so that the slaves can communicate with them.

When you select a device you will get a listing of the services published by the device. If the service is supported by tdebluez, you can click it to launch the appropriate application. Unless you've disabled it, konqueror will pop up the common file-open-dialog. In case the service is not known, you will get an open-with-dialog instead.

## Current limitations

tdeio_bluetooth has no support for nested browse groups currently. This won't be hard to add, but wasn't need so far.

You can not connect to services of your own system.
