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 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d74/chaks_2k/Screenshot-2-1.png http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d74/chaks_2k/Screenshot-1-1.png http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d74/chaks_2k/Screenshot.png -- Regards, C.C.Chakkaradeep, http://chakkaradeep.wordpress.com -- "Sometimes it's better not to ask - or to listen - when people tell you something can't be done.
