[Thunar-dev] thunar-volman 0.1.0

[Mathias Brodala]

Hello Benedikt.

Guess I have to CC thunar-dev now, but it’s my own fault.

And the latter does not work for me. *That* was the reason I asked. I was sure
that I already described this, but anyway:

I plug in my Hama flashdisk for example. Thanks to hal+udev I now have the
following entries in /dev:

  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2007-01-15 22:46 /dev/flashdisk -> sda
  brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 8, 0 2007-01-15 22:46 sda

But Thunar shows only „sda“ in its sidepanel instead of „flashdisk“. We already
discussed this somewhere else and you (or maybe someone else, I’m not sure) told
me that this was a hal problem. I remember sending a mail regarding this to the
hal ML but never received an answer.

So, what will thunar-volman do? Will it show/mount the device as sda or flashdisk?


Regards, Mathias
