Hello all,
I have a strange problem, that was not there a dew days ago, although I could
not say exactly when (or why and how) it appeared:
When I plug a CF card in my card reader, an icon appears on the desktop
when I _mount_ the card (by clicking on it), a Konqueror windows opens BUT the
icon disappears - which means I can't umount it with the mouse, I have to
open a console and umount by hand.
Of course I have checked that "Mounted removable medium" was selected to be
displayed. It is. The only thing I changed recently was to set the Desktop
Background to a slide show.
I could not find in which file these settings are kept. Maybe someone has an
idea what's going on? R 14.0.0 by the way.

did you do "apt-get update" or "apt-get dist-upgrade" ?

Impossible - I'm running openSUSE :)

I have no solution for you main issue, but there are at least two ways
to unmount from a Konqueror window. Since I always have the navigation
panel showing (I wouldn't know what to do without it), I open the
Services menu (red flag icon) > Storage Media and safely remove (or
unmount) from there. You can also Go (top menu) > Storage Media.

Thanks for the hint Dave. I never have this panel showing (always hated this
explorer-like thing), I love Konqueror because of the so effective two pane
mode (Dolphin uses a much more stupid way that does not let you save the
opening places).
This being said, F9 and I open it, so yes it's faster than konsole, mount and
possibly su before umount.
I have made some more testing and it seems that everything works fine for USB
keys. However, when inserting a card in the USB card reader, the _unmounted_
card is shown on the desktop. Once mounted it disappears, and comes back once
unmounted. Maybe this is a bug? I don't have another card reader to see if it
might be specific to this hardware...

I've never felt the need for another file pane when I have a directory
tree pane (navigation panel) that I can drag and drop to... It's like
tabbed browsing in that you can tab between multiple local and remote
pages (a specific/remembered location in each tree)... How do you even
navigate the file tree without the navigation panel (e.g. attached)?

Yep, everyone uses what he's used to. I started using computers with GEM and
forever was tied to dual panes :). As to navigating without the navigation
panel, I use the arrows on the upper left corner (see image).
I like to see where I'm dropping my files :)

... or another tab to drag and drop to. Something I find really handy
is dragging a file (or a tab if the pane is an open file, e.g. an
image) to a tab and holding the mouse there until the tab opens and I
can drop it (e.g. as a webmail attachment).

I imagine a lot of us use TDE because it can provide what we are
comfortable with/used to... I cannot remember that far back, but it
looks like I also started with GEM (my first PC was an Amstrad).

I, too, have noticed that some external drives show up on the desktop,
others not. I have two 1TB backup drives, both formatted in exFat. One
shows up when mounted, the other doesn't. When unmounted, both show
up.
Most of the USB drives show up, just not all. Which is strange.
They are available in the device manager view of Konqueror, and
there's always "unmount".
Its the variety that makes life spicy. If everything always did what
you expected, where would the fun be?

This looks like something I experienced with cell phone card memory
https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2444
Perhaps it helps at least find where you can solve it

Thanks Deloptes for the suggestion. I tried both settings as well as only the
second, but nothing changes.
As I said mounting is no problem. The problem is (probably) related to _how_
the cards are seen.

Well, yes, I think I did some updates - did not include Trinity as version is
still 14.0.0.
What I can say for now:
I plug in a USB key - An icon appears on the desktop, mousing over
says "unmounted removable medium".
A pop-up windows also asks me what I want to do with it.
If I click on the icon, it gets mounted, the icon adds a little green mark but
mousing over still says "unmounted removable medium"
Right clicking on the icon offers umount option, but it does not work (the usb
key remains mounted). "Safely remove" does work - the key gets unmounted and
the icon disappears.
I plug a CF or SD card in my USB card reader (Kingston FCR-HS3). Same window
pop up and same icon (so a USB key icon) appear. If I click on the icon, the
card gets mounted (media:/sdc1) and the icon disappears. "Unmount" from
either the navigation panel or a konqueror window on media:/ unmounts
correctly and the "unmounted removable media" icon reappears.
I've tried to setup fixed mounting points but "create new - Link to device"
creates non working icons on the desktop (the content of these desktop files
seem OK but they are treated as text files).
