Comment 6 for bug 1972766

I am beyond my troubles with this issue and only compassionately posting this issue to help others. With some careful thought, I will share this issue with gnome nautilus team. It seems logical that one should be able to right click on a drive located on the sidebar thinggy. or a drive located in "Other locations" Right click, automount (obviously it would be for the current user).

Perhaps a server would not like this mounted for everyone with sensitive drives.. but then again.. you would not automount such sensitive drives.

However, you might point to them and they might point to you.
I hope it gets resolved. Auto-mount is essential for recent-file-lists to work properly.

Ubuntu is quite stable and needs to focus on more usabliltiy issues.
