--- Comment #7 from Harald Sitter <sit...@kde.org> ---
Yeah, I don't dispute that it'd be more convenient. But we simply don't know
the cost of a query through solid, in fact solid doesn't because of its backend
nature. So, I maintain that not querying devices as you browse past is a matter
of energy efficiency. Default standby times are ludicrously long, so if you
happen to wake up sleeping hdd it'll take 20 or so minutes until it goes back
to sleep again.
It's more or less the same reason the left hand treeview for the modules
doesn't update the module view right away. Loading a module could be very cheap
or not, we do not know, so the conservative choice is not loading the module
until the user confirms their choice.
