GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 579026
ignore media insertion when it is already being handled
Last modified: 2013-03-28 07:08:27 UTC
If you do a CD or a DVD copy using brasero, nautilus-cd-burner or any burning tool, it will first create an image of the media, then ask for the blank media, and finally write the image on it. The problem with Nautilus is that, whenever you insert the blank media, it detects it and does whatever the user has configured it to do with it (launch a CD burning appliation for example). But in this case, Nautilus should just ignore the insertion of the media because the media is inserted on request of another application. So, what I propose is that CD burning applications should have a way to tell Nautilus to ignore media insertion while a copy is in operation. And I guess that a generic way for applications to tell Nautilus to ignore media insertion could even be useful for other use cases where an application needs the user to insert a media to perform an operation on it.
Didn't we use to have a hal lock for this? david?
(In reply to comment #1) > Didn't we use to have a hal lock for this? > david? I think so. Maybe it would be to have a way to lock one or all of a GVolumeMonitor, GDrive, GVolume or GMount instead. Or have Nautilus export some simple API to do this.
