Description Lionel Dricot 2008-03-17 11:11:01 UTC 
In the current nautilus desktop, you can display or hide mounted volumes.

There should be an option to display only "volatile" volumes (like USB key, CD-rom, MP3 player) and hide permament mounts (other partitions, network mounts).

Indeed, a lot of people (specially beginners) don't want to see the volumes all the time (like a link to your old Windows partition). Nevertheless, those people want to easily access CD-rom and USB key and simply right click to unmount them. Having them on the desktop is also a good reminder to not forget to unmount.

Another idea would be to consider mounted volumes icons just like any other link or file : you can put them where you want. It could be handy to have your work SMB volumes in one folder with your work files and your blog pictures with a SSH upload folder volume.
Comment 2 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2008-03-17 12:52:00 UTC 
I like both ideas. And you could "delete" (throw in the trash can) a volume like a regular file to unmount it too!

And, please, *allow renaming* those darn volumes! :)
