unity launcher should still have option to show device icon 'only when mounted'

[Doug McMahon]

It seems now to only be 'Always' (default), or never via the blacklist though the blacklist is only persistent for internal volumes
You should add a new schema to allow 'only when mounted', individually or in general .

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This seems to be a regression re. uaer's flexibility as to what is shown in the launcher.
It is an all or nothing choice, I only want mounted volumes showing. as was previously implemented.
Now with some upgrades to packages the "blacklist" option in dconf gets unset and I have to again remove all volumes individually from launcher to rebuild the blacklist.
Very Irritating!
If I may ask, why would anyone want ALL volumes constantly in their launcher when nautilus/files offers easy access?
I know this is not a discussion area, but a quick link to the discussion reguarding the logic of this would be appreciated, Thank You!

And I do not want any disk icons to be shown in the launcher. This is not a wish list issue. Developers have removed that from CCSM voluntarily. So it a regression - lost of functionality. Please, restore previous functional state.

[Bachi (m-bachmann)]

Agreed - removing a used feature without any specific reason is a regression and should be treated as such.
I also don't want to see any disk icons in my launcher. Please, restore previous functional state.

I can confirm, doesn't work on 14.04 either. Package info:
unity:
  Installed: 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1

I confirm too that this has not been fixed in Ubuntu 14.04

unity:
  Instalados: 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1
  Candidato: 7.2.0+14.04.20140416-0ubuntu1

So, when we couid see the fix?.

[Bortnyák Roland (antivirtel)]

BTW., I've tried to add an UUID (FAT32's) to the blacklist, but it does nothing... Please fix that too!
