Version: (using KDE 4.1.0) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux I'd really like to report this as a bug rather than a (wishlist) feature request, but that wouldn't be accurate. Anyway, the problem is that KDE4.1 is missing the "Storage Media Notifications" that were so very useful in KDE3. I, for one, would love to see them return.
Actually there is a device notifier plasmoid. Add it on your panel and put a cdrom in the drive. Doesn't this work for you?
Device Notifier is almost useless - it's hard to find wanted partition or device (Bug 168809), and DN does not notify me when I am pluging my player - Cowon D2,though new mounting point is added in Dolphin.
The current DN widget provides only simple notification. What's missing is the ability to auto-launch applications (media player, ripper, etc.) as with kde3. This is IMHO yet another step backwards in KDE's evolution.
For me this is the one thing I truly lack from KDE3. I don't necessarily care for the popup notification in KDE3, but being able to set some auto launch options is missed.
Me too, I would like to be able to add my own Options as I could with KDE3. e.g. Attach a script that mounts the drive with pmount and renames/downloads pictures from a camera.

The DN does not simply let me mount, just gives option to open in dolphin, I would use it if I could just mount a drive from the widget. Thanks for your work
Also it would be great if you could specify a default action for devices, so in the device manager, instead of opening the popup (1 click) and selecting the desired action (another click), you could click a small button (as the eject) to open the default action
First I want to support the KDE4 team for all the work they made building the more-than-recognized brilliant KDE3, and support them in the efforth they are making building the new KDE4. That said, I would also like to have some configuration options in Device Notifier: use Konqueror instead of Dolphin, configure automatic actions, etc
I would like to know if kde 4.3.1 has the option of 'just mounting' via the device notifier, or whether it's better to do this in fstab as per pure linux.... Great work guys, it gets better with every X.Y release :)

I believe that all the problems described across all these replies would go away if device notifier enabled the users to configure the actions according to their personal taste. Unfortunately, and uncharacteristically, it appears that DN doesn't offers any configuration besides setting the shortcut key, which is a bit of a let down.
I'm running Fedora 11 with KDE 4.3.1. I set the "file manager" started by the device notifier to just run a shell script via the <cough> kde "system settings", general tab, personal "default applications", then select "file manager", and then you can click "other" and then the "..." on the right. Then fill in the path to the script (or select whatever application you want to use). I created a simple bash script as follows, so that a KDE konsole is opened in the directory where the drive is mounted (using "konsole" as the file manager should do this too, but that doesn't work right). You could do nothing, take action based on the mount point (the mount point is the same as the label name of the partition, at least for my USB mass storage devices with a fat file system, man dosfslabel), or pretty much anything you want. I usually use the command line copy over selected files, sometimes I manually select what to copy, so I don't want to automatically copy everything. Script: #! /bin/bash # Use as the "file manager", it is passed the directory of the mount point exec konsole --workdir $1
in 4.4 the dn allows to mount/unmount only Device actions will be exposed in the configuration window as well, as per popular request. Given this, can we close this wish? Thanks

(In reply to comment #15) > Was KDE 4.4 released yet? No, that's why I asked. If this wish accounts for something more than what I listed, then we might consider this "something else" for inclusion in 4.4. Else, we can close the bug.
Hi, For me the wish was just that, to be able to mount without any other application opening.. So this is good :) Is 4.4 available in project neon nightly builds yet?
