Bug ID: 427891
Summary: Use "better" defaults for automounting
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.20.0
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_deviceautomounter
Assignee: tdfisc...@kde.org
Reporter: claudius.ell...@live.de
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
A pretty outstanding "feature" of Plasma compared to other environments or
operating systems I have used is that it requires me to mount external devices
every time before I can access them. I use external hard drives for data
storage and it is annoying to have to mount them manually before accessing them
(for example to upload stuff from the Browser).
After looking in Systemsettings I saw that there already is an option to
automount external media and also and option to only allow that for previously
mounted media. I can partly understand that one might not want to allow
automounting for all external drives due to security concerns. A compromise
might be to have all previously mounted drives automounted.
I am not sure whether this is the correct component, please move if it is not.
