Description Joseph Wenninger 2009-11-19 12:57:58 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

I have a new netbook with dualboot (win7, openSuSE). My windows partitions are not displayed in the places view, although I am able to mount them from terminal. Even adding them to the fstab does not work.

The places few should show all fstab (except swap entries) by default and even more important honour the file system options there.

This whole HAL based stuff sucks badly in usability and configurability (not only in places)

Said partitions would be displayed if mounted in a /mnt/foo or /media/bar folder.
Comment 2 Joseph Wenninger 2009-11-20 16:58:08 UTC
They are only shown if they are automounted at boot time, but I can't mount/unmount them as needed with the places view
Comment 3 Kevin Ottens 2009-11-20 17:12:15 UTC
Hm, now that sounds fishy, AFAIK they should show. Could you please attach me
 - your fstab
 - the output of "solid-hardware list nonportableinfo"
Please also indicate me if the path to mountpoints or to device node go through a symlink.

Thanks.

I agree.  I would like to remove the "Search" and "Recently Used" from all file dialogs.  I would also like to ban encrypted partitions as I would like them hidden.

Configuration needs a system wide setting that overrides all individual settings as well as allowing custom, per user setting.

The original issue should be fixed now as of KDE Frameworks 5.41+.

You can do this too!

You should be able to right-click on the volumes you want hidden and click "Hide".
