Hi All,

I am glad to announce the next release of Desktop Icons Preferences.

*What are the improvements*

Enabled to show/hide specific volumes in the desktop. So now , if the user
wants to hide *sda4* and have only *sda2* on the desktop, the user can do it
now

*To Install*

  - tar xjvf dip-0.1.tar.bz2
  - cd dip-0.1
  - sudo ./setup install (for installing)
  - sudo ./setup remove (for un-installing)
  - Run it from menu System-->Preferences-->Desktop Icons Preferences


*Limitations*

1) You cant keep custom names or icons for volumes shown on your desktop. So
as of now, if its *sda2*, the icon name gets created as sda2

2) If you change the created desktop volume entry's name , the
desktop-icons-preferences does not keep track of the name changes, however,
you can change the icon

3) As per the standard, this works only for partitions mounted at
*/media*and thus the default Ubuntu setup will work without any flaws.

*Things to do*

1) Still haven't created any source forge or launchpad entries
2) The GUI has to be improved a bit
3) deb package has to be created
4) Translation to various languages
5) Enable to show other partitions mounted in other locations than /media
(is it really needed??)
6) To get the label of the partition and display instead of *sda4* or *sda5*

Please report your bugs and what you think of the improvement.

Here are some screen shots too attached
