That would do it :-)
OT: I find it frustrating that KDE always asks me what to do when I plug
in my pendrive. There doesn't seem to be an option to set a default
action. It takes two mouse clicks to open Dolphin, not counting the
initial one to get to the dialogue (Dolphin isn't even the preselected
option despite being touted as the all-purpose file handling app).
I think the action options were well-liked in the past, so probably are here
to stay. OTOH, I agree that it would be very useful to be able to set a
default action, so that Enter or clicking OK would be enough. Otherwise,
setting dolphin to the top of the list would be an improvement. That's my
opinion, anyway :-)
And in the same vein, I'd also like to be able to simply mount
the drive
without opening any app. That doesn't appear to be possible either.
Hmm - that needs some thinking about. When would you want to do that? To
save a file to it, perhaps?
I opened a .jpg in gwenview, inserted a pen-drive without mounting it, then,
in gwenview clicked File > Save As. I could see the pendrive in Places, so I
double-clicked it and it mounted. The save completed. Does that help?
What else did you have in mind?
I'll report these to BZ if necessary but I just wanted to check
that I'm
not missing something obvious.
File an RFE for action options and post the number here. If we can't solve
the other problem we'll file one for that as well.
