I tested this
under Xfce 4.10 and KDE 4.8.5. The mount point is the same
as the disk label, just like TDE under HAL. For example
"/media/Slackware64-current DVD." We probably want to be consistent and do
the same?
Is this regression specific to CDs/DVDs, or does the same
problem exist with other media as well? I never paid too much
attention to how HAL handled default mount points...
Hmm. I don't know ----
I renamed my mediamanagerrc file and inserted some USB flash drives.
With no mediamanagerrc file, the device appeared on the desktop as "1.0G Removable
Media." When I let the dialog mount the device, the device point was /media/disk.
I left that device mounted and inserted another USB flash drive. Same similar icon name
but the mount point was /media/disk-1.
I renamed the icon labels for both devices and Safely Removed. Then I inserted both
devices again. The icon labels displayed correctly with my new names but the mount points
were the same as previous, /media/disk and /media/disk-1.
Of course, I can use the popup menu dialog to explicitly define a mount point location for
the USB devices.
In a HAL system I don't need to define a mount point for optical disks. The disk is
always mounted to a mount point using the disk label, which matches the icon label. As
mentioned in a previous post, that behavior is seen in Xfce 4.10 and KDE 4.8.5 too.
My guess is we need only copy/paste some code snippets from halbackend to tdehwbackend.
I'll try to look but I'm not certain exactly what to search.
