Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Please consider adding support for "autorun" when a new data CD has been detected. If a CD or other new device contains an executable ".autorun", "autorun" or "autorun.sh" file in its root directory then the user should be asked if he wants to execute this command. This feature is already supported by the gnome-volume-manager, see e.g. gnome-volume-manager/src/manager.c to ensure that a future KDE implementation is compatible with the gnome one.
At insert? or when mounting? When mounting would be easier...
After mounting, yes. I assume that a data-cd already gets mounted after it has been inserted.
This autorun feature, which, in fact, the only thing that accomplishes is the saving of a couple of mouse clicks, brings security implications and multiple annoyances. I believe we are better off.
It should be managed like attachements in kmail, on mounting we ask to execute the script or not... the default option being ignoring it. The user will have to explicitely click on the right button.
