RhythemBox wants to _Initialize_ a perfectly healthy iPhone.

[LantzR]

When I connect my iPhone to the Usb port RhythmBox launches and presents the dialog asking to Initialize my iPhone. This is not just wrong it is evil. I have to stop working until I can carefully dismiss this unwanted dialog.

Give me a preference to NEVER show this dialog and set it checked by default. Or a manual only setting or completely strip the function out of RhythmBox.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

While I will pursue finding the upstream bug number, I'm not in agreement that this is low priority for Ubuntu clients in a Lts.

Shotwell has no issues with presenting the photos on the mounted volume, Bash along with Nautilus and even Nemo have no issues with the mounted Usb drive.

RhythmBox not only can not see the mounted music it wants to "help" by offering to initialize the entire disk and presenting a dialog that suggests that is the normal thing to do.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

well, you are the only one to have reported that issue so far, so it's low priority because it doesn't impact lot of users, if things change the settings can be updated then
