In fact, it looks like a bug in your side. Here I only have an icon for my floppy disk (which can't be mounted automatically) and my CD or USB drive when I put them in... My permanent partitions (and I have several of those) don't show up. > 2. > The user cannot filter the devices / partitions shown. Does not matter since only the non-permanent ones should be shown. The icon appears when I plug my USB drive in, or when I put a CD in my CD drive, and then disappears after unmounting/ejecting it. > 3. > All Icons look alike. > It's just a replica of the Computer Icon. > One cannot assign icons to distinguish devices. Once again it looks like a bug. Here (Ubuntu Dapper, Gnome 2.14) I have a different icon for CD and for floppy. > ON THE RIGHT is a panel with the pre-2.10 applet representing my: > - floppy-drive > - pendrive #1 (floppy-disk-size -- bootable) > - the 64MB XD card in my printer > - my 256MB pendrive > - my other 256 MB pendrive > - my 750MB zipdisk > - my DVD-ROM player > - my DVD-writer > - my USB 5G mini-harddrive > - my MP3-player's internal 256MB memory > - my MP3-players 512MB SD extension BTW are you sure you don't have all those in your fstab and let hal/udev/whatever do its job ? It looks weird to me to have that many different usb drive placeholders... I guess not. The previous applets had that issue of not being friendly with this auto-configuration stuff: it wasn't possible to make one show up when you plug an USB drive. Actually, this works even if you've never used a USB key before. Looking at my fstab, I can see I have an entry for my CD-ROM drive, and for my IDE hard drives. That's all. Not even a line for my floppy, nor usb drives. > I propose the following: > - A filter in which the user can select the mountable devices to be > shown on the panel. > - The ability to attach a meaningful (custom) icon that represents the > device. > - Falling back to fstab if mounting/unmounting using udev/hotplug does > not do the trick. > - Make famd more aware of Nautilus created files/folders like > .Trash----- and thus not blocking unmounts. Maybe you should fill it as a bug in bugzilla if you think it's really useful to some people. -- Steve http://tw.apinc.org _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
