Description Paul Sommer 2016-08-23 16:38:44 UTC
The "places" panel in in dolphin (or konqueror) is pretty useless when it comes to the partitions part.
On my system ther's lots of entries showing "Linux filesystem" or "xx GB hard disk" which is pretty useless to me. I cannot tell which entry refers to which disk/partition.
I have several ubuntu system partitions on my disks, all the same size (30 GB), and I cannot tell one from the other in the "places" panel as each of them is labled as "30.1 GiB Hard Drive" (which is even wrong as it's a partition, not a hard drive).

I'm missing some more infos (upon mouse hover) like partition number (e.g. /dev/sdb2) or the UUID of that partition.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Dolphin
2. Go to the "places" panel
3. 

Actual Results:  
I see a bunch of entries showing "30.1 GiB Hard Drive"

Expected Results:  
Partition number and/or UUID of that partition (maybe as a popup info upon mouse hover or in the context manu)

In the future, please stick to one bug per bug report. It makes issues hard to track.

"30.1 GiB Hard Drive" comes from the fact that the disk has no filesystem label applied. That is tracked by https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307883

Showing additional information is tracked by https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181880
