Hello, I installed the latest binary kdeconnect-kde-21.04.1-590-windows-msvc2019_64-cl.exe for Windows 10 (64 Bit), I can connect from an Android phone, I see kdeconnect-indicator.exe running in the task-manager, but I can't see the icon in the taskbar / can't open the user-interface on Windows. Any idea why?
Functionality however is fine, I can send files from phone, see notifications and can control the mouse-cursor using the touchscreen of the smartphone - but there's no way I can see the user-interface of the Windows client.

Hi everyone, sorry for the mess. Hope you all are safe and healthy.

I just pushed a patch to fix this. Download build no. 775 or later should have the issue fixed.
Link to Download page: https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/kdec ... _win64/775

P.S.: double clicking the indicator now opens up the configure menu! =D

Thanks a lot! This one works now / I can see the icon in the task-bar for the first time and can open the user-interface :)
I just wonder about the build number: If you click on "Windows / binary packages" on this page https://kdeconnect.kde.org/download.html you reach that page: https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/kdec ... ase_win64/
The latest build no. I can see there is #599 (May 24). How do normal people find build no. 775 and why is there such a huge gap between these build numbers?

In the latest release, double click doesn't work anymore (but right click / "configure" works).
The icon is almost unvisible in the task-bar, because it has a dark gray color. Could you make it white instead?
Also I can't send several files at once from the PC to the smartphone. This only works from Smartphone to PC.
