Hi Riccardo and All,
I thought that the patches You told about removable devices were
avaible yet within the recent release of GWorkspace.
So I tried and achieved to compile GWorkspace apps from the Github
repository :
After './configure' and 'make', all succeeded fine.
Well, but before a 'make install' in my user domain, I stopped and
wonder what would happen with the existing GWorkspace apps already
there in the system domain : maybe a conflict due to duplicate apps...
So I tried to uninstall first the oldest GWorkspace from the domain
system, but due to the debian dependencies, I saw that this would
remove all the gnustep core ans apps... Bad feeling about that...
So I renounced to uninstall...
I prefer ask You before doing some big mistake, what is the right way
to do it if I want the latest GWorkspace ?
Regards,

Hi Riccardo,
Searching on the list archive about mounting removable devices, I
realized
that I never answered back your last messages about mounting
removable
devices within GWorkspace.
See :
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg22866.html
Well, I try to sumarize the state of mounting on a GNU/Linux system
(i.e.
actually Raspbian 10.4)
GWorkspace is 0.9.4 (07 2016 build) : are the mentionned patches
applied on
this version ?
My tests :
1) Configuration
As You suggested, I am now using System Preferences mount panel and
because
the usb stick is named CLEPAT,
I added this line : "/media/pi/CLEPAT" in the "mount points for
removable
media".
2) I plugged the usb stick
Nothing automated.
Trying : #E from GWorkspace menu:
- Lightning on the stick briefly, but No icon was shown on the desktop
3) Using Hide/Show Desktop :
Nothing happened: I mean No icon was shown on the desktop
4) So I mounted this usb stick in a Terminal window in my userspace :
udisksctl mount -b ${BLOCK}${PARTITION}
Where :
BLOCK=/dev/sdb
PARTITION=1
Nothing happened : I mean No icon was shown on the desktop
5) Using Hide/Show Desktop again :
This time an icon was shown in the right top corner :
- name : CLEPAT (i.e. the usb stick label)
- icon type : a folder (not a drive)
6) Umounting this folder with #d ? I did not try this yet because I
had real
data on it...
7) Exiting GWorkspace and running it again...
The icon on the right corner has been updated : it was now a hard
drive
icon...
Curious. Why not the first time ?
8) Making a backup of the data with StepSync...
And then I tried umounting the NextStep way :
a) DND of the drive icon on the Trash icon... : the cursor became in
the
"prohibited" state and nothing happened.
b) Selecting the drive icon on the Destop and then #d : the icon was
removed
and obviously the stick was shutdown.
9) Plugged the usb stick again...
#E... Nothing...
Steps 4-5 again
Integrity of data on the usb stick : OK.
Icon selected and then #d : umounting and shutting down OK.
Is this behaviour as You expected ?
Regards
