[Hardy] VM ignores settings in System/Preferences/Removable Media

[Dennis Heinson]

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

I am using all-the-way-updated Hardy. The system settings seem to be ignored. Even though I have all "open explorer windows" and such turned off under Preferences/Removable Media, whenever I attach a device, a window opens and devices are being auto-mounted.

Thank you!

Now the storage tab is gone. Is this part of the gvfs transition?

Noticed this as well. g-v-m is ignoring my settings for importing photo's from my camera. I need to pass -b and -i to f-spot. I have completely removed my custom settings from the Digital Camera command line and I tail .xsession-errors when I attach my cameras memory card it looks like it g-v-m still attempts(and fails) to launch f-spot.

Looking at the changelog...

Disable media handling code and preferences UI, since nautilus does that now.
and
debian/patches/01_set_defaults.patch: Ubuntu preferences for programs:
      + Audio CD burning: brasero -a
      + Photo import: f-spot-import

So it's trying to use Nautilus for this now? How do you change the defaults and pass switches to f-spot etc...?

So I've found the new "media" tab in Nautilus prefs, but my question of passing switches still stands.

[Dennis Heinson (dheinson)]

Apparently so. Maybe there should a link from the Preferences Menu to the Nautilus Menu. This is a very well hidden configuration dialogue and it would make much more sense to have it under /Preferences
