Description Rodd Clarkson 2004-06-25 04:28:25 UTC
The new file chooser mounts volumes when needed, instead of having to go to the
'Computer' folder and mount the volume to then navigate the newly mounted file
system.  This is fantastic (and you already know about this but I thought a
little background was needed)

Any bookmarks that aren't available (because a volume isn't mounted) don't
appear by default, however, they should appear if a volume is mounted.

For example if I have some bookmarks that part of /mnt/mymount, an NFS mount on
another server, but mymount isn't mounted, the bookmarks don't appear.  If I
double click the mymount icon in the file-choose, mymount mounts, but the
bookmarks don't appear until you close the file-choose and then open it again. 
These bookmarks should appear when the volume is mounted.
Comment 1 Federico Mena Quintero 2004-07-09 01:45:08 UTC
Good catch.  Maybe we should actually display those bookmarks (grayed out?), and
try to mount their corresponding device when they get activated.
Comment 2 Rodd Clarkson 2004-07-09 02:12:19 UTC
Is it possible to tak this one step further and only show bookmarks and volumes
that can actually be mounted.

For example I have a laptop that moves between two sites with different mounts.
 When I'm at site A I don't need ot know about mounts (and bookmarks) that are
site B related and therefor won't mount.

Is it possible to do a check to see if a mount will mount (without acutally
mounting it) and then including only those that will mount?

This would also help to remove clutter.

Comment 4 Federico Mena Quintero 2005-11-11 22:01:12 UTC
About comment #2 - unfortunately not; you can only test mountability by actually
performing the mount.
