Comment 21 for bug 68924

Is there any progress on this issue yet?
Creating a .desktop file for a new volume name definitely falls into the "hacky inelegant solution" bucket, since .desktop files aren't universally recognised.
Taking the gparted approach means that you're stuck with upper-case labels, i.e.: "CruzerKey" becomes "CRUZERKEY"
New Ubuntu users shouldn't have to resort to the command line to do something this simple, especially when it can be done from the GUI of other operating systems.
Nautilus can specify a volume label when formatting a volume (and it can be mixed-case), so why can't Nautilus rename a volume without formatting it?
