Description András Manţia 2008-03-07 22:25:55 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)

The New Device Notifier opens the mounted devices only in Dolphin. In case I don't like Dolphin, I cannot use the applet. Please provide either a setting to select the default application, or an Open With context menu to select an application that can handle the device.

I'm not a fan of context menus. What do you think of a triangular expander? "What?", you may ask. Please see this mockup I which I made a long time ago: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Extender%3A+Mounted+Devices?content=53086
(Press "Download" for an explanation in my poor English. :D)

Note that the a new mounted device's actions are automatically expanded.

I posted this in Alexis' blog but don't know if he noticed it or not.

This should be handled by file associations.

If you go to file associations in System Settings (under "Advanced"), you will see an "inode" type.  I managed to change the default file browser to Konqueror by changing the settings on the "inode/directory" type; maybe you will have to change "inode/mountpoint" in your case though.

But the real bug is that  "Default applications" is missing a "File browser" option.  As well as allowing switch between Konqueror and Dolphin, this would allow crazy things like using Nautilus, Firefox, a terminal emulator, or even the Midnight Commander.

the behaviour has been fixed; the visible string is waiting on 4.3 when we can change user visible strings again.
