[regression] Samba shares showing up in Launcher - No way to remove permanently

[mlaverdiere]

On Ubuntu 12.10 beta 2, freshly upgraded from 12.04, I'm now getting my Samba shares (mounted using cifs, so with an entry in fstab) showing up in the Launcher, with network folders icons, which was not the case before.

I'm not sure if it's a feature or a bug, but for sure, there should be a way to disable this, globally (i.e. option to not show network shares in Launcher) or for each icon (i.e. with "remove from Launcher" in the menu). For internal hard disk, which is also showing up in the Launcher since 12.10, there is a "Remove from Launcher" option in the menu, which is great.

The issue appears to be resolved after latest upgrade, with Unity 6.8.0, as now, there is a "Remove from Launcher" option in the contextual menu of Samba/network shares icons in the Launcher.

Reopening this report, since the problem still occurs, although in a different maner

Great thing that the "remove from launcher" has bee added to the contextual menu, but since 13.04 (at least), each time I plug a usb key or my Nexus phone (mtp), the samba shares reappears. So the "remove from launcher" effect is not permanent, as ti should be.

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

Seems to be fixed on 14.04.

Fresh install of 14.04.1 64bit, when I insert or remove DVD from DVD Writer, samba shares (cifs) reappear. If I unlock DVD icon from launcher, it also removes ALL samba share icons. Similarly, if I again remove ANY samba share icon, they ALL disaapear, together with DVD icon. Safely removing USB flash/HD does has the same behaviour in about 50% of cases.
