Their attitude is quite clear, and AFIAC quite wrong. And I still don't accept that my bug is a duplicate of that bug. I don't even have a 'file management' entry in preferences. I'm not complaining that options are missing from a dialog, I'm complaining that an entire dialog for an option I would like to be able to reconfigure and which I felt was already in the most intuative possible place it could be, has been removed for no apparent reason. I'll settle for them moving it to the CD properties. I won't settle for "we know best, you're too stupid to know what media player you want to use" ** Attachment added: "unnamed" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14408191/unnamed -- [hardy] Cannot change default player for DVDs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221330 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is subscribed to amarok in ubuntu (via bug 191475). -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

What's on the disk (DVD or VCD video files) should probably be in Nautilus. The dialog should absolutely still be easy to find; the properties dialog when you right-click the disk on the desktop would be a logical place (and it should allow you to set actions for all recognisable disk types, not just whatever happens to be in the drive right now) The dialog also needs to go back on the "removable drives and media" tab. That's absolutely a logical place for people to go looking for it.

You don't make gnome more user friendly by removing or hiding all the options, you make it userfriendly by putting the options in the place that users would most naturally expect to find them! It doesn't hurt to have a dialog accessable on two different menus either, if both places are somewhere a user is very likely to look. ** Attachment added: "unnamed" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14405966/unnamed -- [hardy] Cannot change default player for DVDs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221330 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm getting very frustrated with the gnome philosophy "users are stupid and confused by options, so removing all the options makes gnome more user friendly". I'm happy to know that in this case at least, it's not just because somebody decided to make things less configurable for no good reason.. ** Attachment added: "unnamed" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14377881/unnamed -- [hardy] Cannot change default player for DVDs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221330 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have read that bug report and I do not think it's talking about the same issue at all. In Gutsy I used to have options of what media player would start when I inserted a DVD, VCD, or audio CD. The problem is NOT that players aren't being detected. The problem is that the entire "Media" tab been COMPLETELY REMOVED from the Drives and Devices dialog. That's where it used to be. That seems to be the most logical place for it. Will somebody please put it back?
