Alex Moldovan (alexmoldovan) wrote : Unity launcher gets cluttered when having multiple partitions and/or usb drives

Binary package hint: unity

Having a multi-boot system, multiple partitions, USB keys, SD cards and external hard drives makes Unity launcher cluttered very quick (see screenshot). There should be one icon on the launcher for all /media file-systems, network mounts and all external mounted file-systems, that can then open a menu towards those volumes. Also the question mark icon for other partitions could be replaced with the hard drive icon. (grayed out if it's not mounted).
