Description FACORAT Fabrice 2007-01-12 17:45:06 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
OS:                Linux

I noticed that when using a USB Mass storage mp3 player, when doing connect, Amarok will not mount automatically the device. You need to mount the device first and then doing connect.
IMHO this is a nonsense.
When doing Connect, amarok should mount the device if this is a USB mass storage one by using kde mediamanager.

BTW connect and disconnect should be the same button ( the state/text change depending on the device state ). This will allow to display by default the tranfert icon for people having tiny screen.

Doesn't setting a pre-connect command (such as pmount %d) do the trick for you?
Comment 2 FACORAT Fabrice 2007-01-29 16:32:06 UTC 
I will check. However why doing this kinds of things ? not everybody is using pmount ...
Normally the kde infrastructure to mount USB Mass storage devices should be enough.
Comment 3 Chris Peikert 2007-02-25 01:51:58 UTC 
I agree with the submitter.  If I click "connect," and the device is plugged in, it should connect (especially if KDE supplies the infrastructure to do mounting).

just a reminder especially to avoid the same design issue in amarok 2.
