Description Patrick Silva 2017-07-23 23:37:05 UTC 
As a end user, I dont understand the purpose of this behavior. Looks confuse to me.

Hi Dr. Chapatin,

Please provide the screenshot and give me some suggestion how to let the behavior make sense, thanks!

Regards,
Leslie Zhai

plasma opens the device notifier automatically when some device is mounted.
There is no reason to open device notifier when k3b starts erase/format a rewritable disc. K3b should not open the device notifier.

I think K3b should not interact with device notifier.
Device notifier is open by plasma when some device is mounted and "open a message when a new device is connected" is chcked in its settings.

k3b 17.12 beta has the same behavior on Arch Linux.
Comment 7 Patrick Silva 2017-11-18 03:44:37 UTC 
k3b also opens device notifier when it starts burning a new session in a multissesion disc.

device notifier is opened even if "open popup when new device is plugged in" is unchecked in its settings.

k3b 17.12 beta also opens device notificer when I click "eject" button in dialog about not-empty rewritable disc (see the screenshot).
Comment 9 Patrick Silva 2017-12-10 10:47:57 UTC 
K3b also opens device notifier when I start "copy medium" task.

and device notifier says
"this device can now be safely removed"
Obviously it's not true. Copy is in progress.
Comment 11 Patrick Silva 2020-02-05 13:57:20 UTC 
K3b 19.12.2 no longer opens the device notifier before start the mentioned tasks.
