Does it improve a workflow? > For example, I put a harddrive in, open the imaging or photography software and can pull the file, without having to do the extra steps of opening the file manager, going to the folder, closing the file manager waiting for the device to mount switching back to the software, it mounts while I load the software. Smoother experience. (e.g. when editing I usually browse through art directly in darktable, as it gives better options for tagging, filtering, previewing etc. I only use file manager to import the files that are not there - some Darktable users don't even do that and use the folder import). Similar workflows exist for some project based software too.
out of curiosity through, is there a way to automount without starting a window regardless, because it is a bit annoying. anyway tldr I don't think we can go terribly wrong with either choice here. Just a question of which one is better in an imperfect world. :) Eylul
