A simple request that could be extremely useful. Right now, dolphin has some of the mounted drives in the side panel (which is extremely nice), but it would be totally awesome if ALL mounted media were there. For example, if I have a iso mounted in loopback, a sshfs file system mounted in my /sshfs folder, three usb drives mounted in ~/usb, and some samba shares mounted on the side, it's really time consuming to go into my file structure, find the corresponding directory I'm looking for, and open it. The entries for all of those things can be seen easily with "mount -l", so why couldn't we have a little section in the side panel where we can access all of our mounts? Tell me what you guys think.

You can add these manually by just dragging the folder in question to the panel.

@TheBlackCat this is possible indeed, and maybe it's what most of us do when we have to cope with permanent mounts.

But I think that this feature could be really useful mostly for non-permanent mount: this way, when I mount something, I know where to look to find it, and to umount it if I want.

So we could for example mount a sshfs through the command line, and umount it from the sidebar of dolphin. Smart! :-)
