A bunch of users have requested something similar for Linux as well, apparently preferring that interface to the dolphin places panel. It has uses beyond the normal file manager. For instance it could be used in the folder view widget as an alternative to the device notifier, allowing people to use the popup navigation in folderview to drill down into removable media (I personally would prefer such an interface to the existing device notifier). It could be used by S&L containment to provide removable device access and navigation in one interface.

If someone knows enough to encrypted home partitions they probably know enough to disable this feature as well.

u copy a file to a folder, and there is a name conflict, it would check to make sure the files are not identical before prompting you for a decision. It was decided that this wasn't enough for a GSOC project, but maybe it is enough for a season of KDE project. I am not sure. -Todd

ME applications and commandline applications cannot use it. Having KIO slaves automatically mounted somewhere so they can ba accessed by non-KDE applications would help interporability a lot. GIO (gnome's equivalent) already does this (mounting them in a hidden directory). I am not sure what the best approach to this would be, though. There was some work done on this in the KIO-fuse project, but it seems to have been abandoned. -Todd
