Description Alister Troup 2017-06-27 15:05:36 UTC
I have collections of images spread across multiple removable Hard drives - I use either USB slot in caddies or SATA drive hot plug caddies (Backups are done by mirroring the drive using robocopy /mir)

I've started using digiKam and was adding one of my removable drives and it was changed to local (SATA Hot Plug caddie). I'd like this to be marked as removable (so digiKam does assume it will always be present) plus Windows might not assign the same drive letter next time.

I haven't tested as yet with USB

Git commit cdee9fb951c3f1b3aa354535174eb7c232a241eb by Gilles Caulier.
Committed on 10/01/2021 at 16:02.
Pushed by cgilles into branch 'master'.

Solid info dialog: add new tab with hotplug device events.
With this kind of tool, we can idenitfy quickly which device with properties is plug/unplug and detected by Solid framework.
As exemple, in this screenshoot, see my Iphone 7 connected and disconnected from USB port: https://i.imgur.com/dfL1Grs.png
Of course, if nothing happen in this view, this want mean that device is not recognized at all from Solid framework,
and end-user need to report this problem to Solid team.
