Bug Description
What should happen:
mounted volumes (internal or external; HDD, pendrive, camera, phones, etc.), should follow the same behavior as every other item in the launcher and not open new instances every time you click. Instead bring forward the already opened window. This will make it consistent and less confusing.
for opening new instances, the default behavior should also be adopted: middle-click and right-click quicklist entry.
