thanks

Hi there,

Thank you for maintaining libmtp all these years and at times it has
been a lifesaver.

Although now, It seems aggresive polling is being used by libmtp as I get
notifications of denial as shared in screenshots and there are a
multiple ones at that.

The only change I did (and this is months ago) was add developer
options and changed from MTP to charging options. I am on Android 6.0
marshmallow latest updated version. The phone is a Galaxy J5.

These are the options it shows me -

    Transferring media files through MTP - This seems to be only one
way from phone to PC and not the other way around :(

    Transferring images or files through a PTP connection (guess it's
a lower bandwidth connection)

    Connecting MIDI devices

    Charging.

and am using the last option charging. Is there a way to minimize
libmtp polling for usb devices or just have to live with that.

In 5 minutes I got about 40-50 notifications or copies of the
notifications as seen above,  Sharing another screenie as before. m

I am on Android Marshmallow 6.0 (latest update) and the phone is a
Samsung Galaxy J5 . Please let me know if any more info. is needed.
