Description Kovid Goyal 2007-10-19 19:06:07 UTC

Version:           1.4.7 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

When you ask amarok to not handle a removable device it sets the volume.ignore property on the device to true in HAL. This prevents any other application that wants to mount the device through HAL from doing so. According to the HAL spec, volume.ignore should only be set to true for system partitions and such. I would suggest amarok use a custom key to handle this.
