            Bug ID: 410891
           Summary: [Feature request] Devices list can show where it is
                    mounted
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 19.04.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: panels: places
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: i...@guoyunhe.me
  Target Milestone: ---

I noticed that Dolphin has removed "Root" in places section. I think it is good
because we can access "Root" in devices section. (Here must be some partition
mounted at /, otherwise the system doesn't work)

Then I found a problem: the device list only show devices' names as "250GB Hard
Drive", etc. This is clear when you have only one partition. But for some
users, they have dual boot, and more partitions are created. The list may look
like:

40GB Hard Drive
120GB Hard Drive
240GB Hard Drive
110GB Hard Drive
20GB Hard Drive

Users might be confused.

My suggestion is to add mount point and file system info to device labels or in
tooltip:

40GB Hard Drive
    Btrfs, /
120GB Hard Drive
    XFS, /home
240GB Hard Drive
    Ext4, /data
110GB Hard Drive
    NTFS, ???
20GB Hard Drive
    FAT, ???
