Description Atri 2009-03-13 15:37:31 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

It will be useful to have the device notifier pop up with a list of auto-mount options for removable media. In KDE 4.0 (openSUSE 11.0) this was the way the device-notifier worked: when a blank CD/DVD was inserted it popped up with an entry called something like 'Blank CD/DVD' and on clicking it a dialog-box opened that had the options like 'Burn a data CD','Make an audio CD', etc. This functionality seems to have disappeared from versions of KDE 4.1 and later. Really would be great to have some auto-mount options appropriate to the media inserted (audio cd, blank cd, video dvd etc.) integrated with the device-notifier. 

Just for information's sake, at the moment (KDE 4.1, 4.2) a blank CD/DVD does not register any entry in the device-notifier which means a CD drive with no CD and black cd are identical as far as device-notifier is concerned. This is not ideal.

The point is that if you don't have k3b installed there's no point in showing such options since you "can't" burn a cd. 
If k3b is installed, these options are correctly shown
