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.
