            Bug ID: 378824
           Summary: Dolphin displays a "Loop device" for each Snap
                    application installed.
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 16.12.3
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: panels: places

Dolphin displays on the panel 5 loop devices (“Dispositivo de bucle”), which
correspond to 3 Snap applications.

I'm using KDE Neon (Ubuntu 16.04) with Plasma 5.9.4.

As you know, Snap application packages, for security, mount a read-only virtual
drive to store each application (these are mounted in the "/snap" directory).
These virtual drives appear in the Dolphin places panel ("Devices" section),
labeled "Loop device", each time a Snap application is installed. That is, if I
have 5 Snap applications installed, at least 6 units "Loop device" appear on
the Dolphin panel (5 apps + the "core").
This seems like a very insignificant "bug", however it is quite annoying, since
"loop devices" often appear constantly, even if hidden from the panel.

To fix this, ideally, Dolphin would not display on the places panel the drives
mounted in the “/snap” directory.
