I know that Gentoo's gnome policy is try to keep as close as possible with upstream, but I have seen that Fedora is applying this patch for making nautilus ask users what app to use for mounted devices (remember that automount configuration changed when moving from gnome-volume-manager to nautilus). I previusly got some similar problems in mandriva bugzilla and forums (I am a member of Mandriva's Triage Team) related with new nautilus being not enough intuitive for choosing proper app for opening mounted devices. I also found this upstream bug report (bad assigned to gnome-volume-manager but I cannot modify it :'( ): http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524195 Seems that a lot of people think that current way is not intuitive enough and I also think that defaulting to: http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/Screenshot-SanDisk%20Corp.%20Sansa%20E200%20series%20(mtp).png is an important usability improvement Thanks a lot Reproducible: Always
given the current mess with automounting I think this is a good thing to add before stabilization. @herd, what do you think ?
What does it do now? (I'm running 2.23)
(In reply to comment #2) > What does it do now? (I'm running 2.23) > Now you have to choose app going to nautilus preferences at last tab, then problem is that some people doesn't know that media settings are now there, as the place doesn't seem too intuitive
Any news on this? (I know that 2.22 stabilization will be done soon and I think that this should be applied (or not) before it) Thanks :-)
Created attachment 161187 [details, diff] nautilus-2.22-default-to-asking.patch I thought that I already attached the patch :-O
I guess I don't have hugely strong feelings either way. I do hate the stupid "what do I do?" popups, but I'm not sure there's a better alternative.
Dialog has an option for not asking anymore, maybe libnautilus-private/nautilus-autorun.c could be changed for enabling this option default, but I don't have enough knowledge for changing it :-/
commited in 2.22.5.1 and -r1 without a bump.
Thanks
