Hello out there!

(I hope I post this in the correct spot. The device notifier is a Plasma app, so I think I'm right )
Usually I managed to get most of the stuff running but this time I'm out of ideas or rather out of information. What I post below took me some hours to accomplish (I'm not that of a hacker so I had to learn some commands and so on) but now I'm happy that it works almost perfectly.

The question is: Is there a way to configure the device notifier to execute an action automatically without user interaction (selecting / clicking the action) after a device has been inserted?

Here is what I accomplished so far:
1. I created a new, custom action setting by creating a file called AutoCopy.desktop in the following location:
~/.kde/share/apps/solid/actions/AutoCopy.desktop

The content of this file happens to be as follows:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
X-KDE-Solid-Predicate=[ StorageVolume.ignored == false AND StorageVolume.usage == 'FileSystem' ]
X-KDE-Autorun=true
Type=Service
Actions=open;

[Desktop Action open]
Name=AutoCopyFotos Test 2
Exec=~/MyBin/AutoCopy.sh %f
Icon=system-file-manager
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=desktop_kdebase-workspace


2. The purpose of AutoCopy.sh is to copy or move all the JPGs from the plugged in device to my default input folder into a folder with the present date and time, empty the input device and unmount it. See here:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#
# AutoCopy.sh
NOW=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d_%H%M")
DEST=~/_input/AutoCopy/$NOW
SOURCE=$1
# %f gives StorageAccess.filePath, %d gives Block.device, %i gives UDI

mkdir $DEST
mv `find $SOURCE -name "*.JPG"` $DEST
find $SOURCE -type d -empty -delete
umount $SOURCE


So. All what is missing is: How do I configure the device notifier to "always use this action if the device is plugged in"?

I darkly remember this option used to be there in KDE 3.5.
Is this option not jet implemented in KDE 4? Or did I miss the spot where it is hidden?

Looking forward to your ideas and suggestions!!

Bregards!

Autorun is not available at this time. I would recommend a feature request if one does not already exist.

It has been requested several times.
