I've not been connected to the internet for a few days, so please disregard
this message if it is outdated.
The problem is in fact in the solid plasma engine; the patch works as expected
(*) with the following patch in soliddeviceengine.cpp
Index: soliddeviceengine.cpp
===================================================================
--- soliddeviceengine.cpp=(revision 1013054)
+++ soliddeviceengine.cpp=(working copy)
@@ -596,7 +597,7 @@
void SolidDeviceEngine::deviceChanged(const QString& udi, const QString
&property, const QVariant &value)
{
setData(udi, property, value);
- scheduleSourcesUpdated();
+ updateAllSources();
}
#include "soliddeviceengine.moc"
However I see a couple of problems with the patch; the first one is that, for
consistency, I believe the result should look like what is shown in
KFilePlaces; the second one is that (*) the free disk space is not updated if
files are added/removed. This is ultimately a problem with the engine but makes
the free space indicator only partially useful;
I see two solutions:
- Once the device is made accessible trigger an update of the free disk space
every (say) 10 seconds
- Make the KCapacityBar appear on hover and trigger an update of the free disk
space on hover;
I personally like the second possibility more than the first one,
Best
