Automount when clicking "Places"?

Mon Nov 26, 2012 10:01 pm
Hey all,
I have a number of "Places" defined in Dolphin's left hand column that are on drives not mounted by default. While I can click on the drive and have Dolphin automatically mount it, if I click on one of those "Places" I just get an error. Given that Dolphin obviously *can* mount these, is there any way to have it so that if I click on a "Place" on an unmounted drive, that Dolphin just tries to mount it and go there rather than just giving me an error message about it not existing? (When I manually mount and click it, there is no error).

The problem is that the URL of the entry in the Places Panel does not tell us which device needs to be mounted.

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding something technical here (highly possible), but if:

* Clicking on SDA3 in Dolphin can cause it to mount in /media/mydrive and
* Dolphin knows that the entry in my places has the URL /media/mydrive/documents

Then shouldn't it be possible to figure out which drive needs to be mounted to create /media/mydrive? If not, would it be possible when the place is created to add some kind of note, what device it exists on?

It just seems like an area, where showing the user an error instead of just doing it may not be necessary.

The point is that Dolphin does not know that clicking sda3 will mount it in /media/mydrive.
