Native Mtp support
Registered by
Michael Baker
New android devices (specifically Google Nexus Devices) are using Microsoft's MTP protocol for file/ media transfer over usb. Unfortunately this doesn't appear to be something that will be changing anytime in the near future. It would be very nice to have native support in Linux mint for current, and future android devices. Currently to use MTP devices requires the use of utilities like Gmtp which doesn't work real well. Or, custom scripts to mount and unmount the device(unreliably).
