Before this patch you would sometime see a drive for your optical drive or IDE Zip drive but not one for your USB Zip Drive. So, this is basically to be more consistent. I also like the fact that people see that the system recognizes the drive. And, you know, I think when we get e.g. icons for "Compact Flash Drive" and perhaps a view in Nautilus that divides drives into categories (a'la WinXP?) this will be much clearer, don't you think? But it's really a HCI question; I just wrote some code :-) Another thing is that if you want only to see media, not drives, this is what you use the "Places" menu for in the desktop / look at icons on the desktop. > > - Move all icon/name selection from libhal-storage back into gnome-vfs > > (all the policy/icon/name stuff will be deprecated from hal shortly) > > - Support gconf keys specifying what drives to show and what drives > > to hide > > Can we make / are these mandatory so we can lockdown? Can be mandatory but the default install only make them default. I was thinking this is something the distributor would want to customize (for Fedora I'm thinking it's a function of the install type, e.g. "Personal Desktop" it's not mandatory). Ideally we'd do a patch for the Nautilus preferences for the user to tweak these (and grey them out if they are mandatory).
