Hello, maybe someone is interested in this device action. When switching on my external backup hard disc, I get an entry in the device manager to start the dirvish backup. The hard disc is mounted by KDE's device manager and is unmounted after the backup run again.
It's not yet perfect as you still need to enter the root password, but you could solve this by writing your own small wrapper script and configuring it via sudo, so that it can be started by a normal user. create the file: ~/kde/share/apps/solid/actions/dirvish:-run-backup.desktop (on some systems it is ~/kde4/....) with this content: > [Desktop Action open] > Exec=kdesu "konsole --hold -e sh -c 'dirvish-expire && dirvish-runall && > umount %f'" > Icon=kpilot_backup > Name=dirvish run backup > > [Desktop Entry] > Actions=open; > Type=Service > X-KDE-Action-Custom=true > X-KDE-Solid-Predicate=[ IS StorageVolume AND StorageVolume.ignored == false ] (I post it as quoted to not make the lines wrap around) Greetings, Arno _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
