Description Francesco Noacco 2012-12-03 16:30:24 UTC 
In the event that you are working on many usb-pens or identical memories would be useful to record the serial assigning name/owner/other, in a "personal list", without making any changes on the unit. All this appears in parenthesis or in a floating balloon after the name of the physical node.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the report. Just to make sure that I understand what you mean:

You do not want to change the volume name of your external drive, but you want to be able to configure a name which is shown in the Places Panel for that device?
Comment 2 Francesco Noacco 2012-12-04 18:56:38 UTC 
Yes, exactly. No need to root.

I don't think it makes a lot of sense to let people change the *display* name of their external disks without actually changing the filesystem labels. That seems like it will cause a lot of confusion. Why can't the flash disks just have unique volume names--at least temporarily? That seems like the most obvious solution.
