Automatic launching of programs for removable media/connected devices.

Hi all,

Yup! One more vote for letting the user decide whether to run his
preferred program or nothing at all.

Cheers!

One of the things we are pondering changing, is what happens when you insert a disk, whether it be blank or containing data, and what happens when you connect removable devices, such as cameras etc. To get an idea of the options we are considering changing, open the system menu, go to preferences, and choose "Removable Drives and Media".

We are also considering disabling all the automatic running of applications for things like blank disks, audio CDs, DVDs, cameras, etc.

So for example, if you wanted K3B to be used for both audio and data disks, we would change the settings to load K3B, instead of using nautilus or serpentine.
