Hi all, speaking of this, is there any chance that in lxqt we can restore the "safely disconnect" and desktop icons for external drives? pretty much every single person transitioning from windows or something else into linux/lxqt will expect to see an icon popping up for the newly inserted drive and that makes honestly quite a bit of sense to me (just like it does to have it showing up in PCman, which is the existing behavior). Likewise safely unmounting a device (as in udisk poweroff) makes more sense than just unmounting a device (which seems to be the current behavior, this also changed upstream in ubuntu between 12.04 and 14.04 as far as I know). Also PCMan window offers the unmounting as an action on right click, which is again a very common and expected behavior, but the icon on the desktop that pops up when "Auto Mount" is enabled does not.
any thoughts on this? thanks, Spike On Sat, Jul 30, 2016 at 6:44 AM, Paulo Lieuthier <paulolieuth...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi there, > > You can open a PCManFM-Qt window, select Edit > Preferences > Volume and > in the > "Auto Mount" section, disable automatically mounting. > > PCManFM-Qt uses udisks2 to do the mounting/unmounting, so you may want to > check > the permission configurations in > /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks2.policy. > > Paulo Lieuthier > > On 06/29/2016 06:59 AM, Andrey G.
