[Bug 68924] Re: provide support for changing volume labels
Hi AlwaysLearning, >From what I know there is currently nobody working on integrating partition label name changes into nautilus. There are currently utilities that can change the disk label. There are multiple command line utilities which do this, but this is undesirable for the average user. The graphical utilities that can accomplish this are gparted (only when creating a new partition, not after) and palimpsest (also known as Disk Utility, available in karmic). The upstream freedesktop bug was marked as WONTFIX, so there is little chance there. Looking at the GNOME bugzilla, I could not find a bug, so I have created it and liked it to this bug. As well the description of this bug is not the best out of all 12 duplicates. Work should be done to select the best bug out of them all or clean up the description into a new Master/working bug and mark this one as a duplicate.

[Bug 68924] Re: provide support for changing volume labels
Is there any progress on this issue yet? Creating a .desktop file for a new volume name definitely falls into the "hacky inelegant solution" bucket, since .desktop files aren't universally recognised. Taking the gparted approach means that you're stuck with upper-case labels, i.e.: "CruzerKey" becomes "CRUZERKEY" New Ubuntu users shouldn't have to resort to the command line to do something this simple, especially when it can be done from the GUI of other operating systems. Nautilus can specify a volume label when formatting a volume (and it can be mixed-case), so why can't Nautilus rename a volume without formatting it? -- provide support for changing volume labels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68924 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 68924] Re: provide support for changing volume labels
Nautilus currently does not support renaming partitions, this bug proposes to change this. I completely agree. Does this mean these packages will ship with the distro?: ntfsprogs jfsutils reiserfsprogs xfsprogs If palimpsest (Disk Utility in Karmic) or gparted (GNOME Partition Editor) can re-label an unmounted disk, why not have nautilus do the same thing (i.e. call on the same command line programs that palimpsest and gparted use) to re-label disks? I have a concern though. I have noticed is that you must *unmount* a disk before renaming in. In my (mac/win) experience you can rename a disk as is, in a mounted/unmounted state (in the finder/explorer). If this is a technical limitation, I think the label change can be held on to until the user unmounts the disk or shuts down the system. If someone can explain why Mac/Win users can rename a disk while mounted but we have to unmount to rename, please let me know. -- provide support for changing volume labels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68924 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

coulson: why? End users don't give a damn about the implementation details. I can't see the advantage of not creating a solution that works in a couple of days instead of waiting endlessly for someone to do it "properly". Nothing stops you from doing the "proper" solution later. My proposal is definitely easy to implement and is a shortcut to what Gparted does already. If this is about making life easier to end users, then "hacky" or "proper" is meaningless. If this is about academic correction then you're right. (The discussion is somewhate futile. The Big Brother has already dismissed this and us poor end users will have to wait probably another three years.

I said it before, but let's go again: Write a script that does this: 1- Ask for administrative permissions. 2- Unmount the volume if it is mounted. 3- Check for the file system in place. 4- Use the appropriate command to change the volume label. 5- Mount the file system back if it was mounted before. You may say this is a workaround. You may say it's not "elegant" (whatever that means). You may say it's a hack. You may even say you simply do not want to do it, but please stop saying it's either difficult or not "papercut-sized".

** Description changed: My old MP3MAN 1/2 gig mp3 player is able to be renamed in Windows but not in Ubuntu. I'm not sure if this is something that all players can do but it is something that could be well worth looking into (as I don't have a windows machine my mate renamed mine and I have a new samsung player now, for it's ogg support). Effectively in windows you right click on the player icon and hit rename and the player retains that name when you plug into any machine (I will send a screen shot) so mine now says DAVES MP3 rather than mp3man. This is not an urgent bug by any means but it is one thing I noticed that can't yet be done. I want to see bug 1 stripped out as soon as possible but it is always the little things that annoy people. + + * From duplicate bug #388207, I add emphasis that volumes should be re- + namable using right-click. This may be obvious, but "let the record + show" that volumes should act like all other files with respect to + renaming. -- provide support for changing volume labels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68924 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 68924] Re: provide support for changing volume labels
It is, however, a new feature for Nautilus. And it's a non-trivial issue, since setting volume labels properly needs root permissions on *N*X systems. We may work around this with a .desktop file on the volume's root (we're currently discussing this solution for removable devices on the GVFS mailing list), but it hasn't been decided as of yet. Until then, you can set the volume label properly using the methods mentioned here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive And you can follow the discussion on the list: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gvfs-list/2008-August/msg7.html (continues on into September). -- provide support for changing volume labels https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/68924 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
