The mount point (/media/ or /run/media/$USER/$LABEL/ ) is actually completely irrelevant for inexperienced user. They will look at the desktop and expect to see a window, with some program dedicated, or selected from the list, doing something with a just mounted storage.
I don't know what does it mean to "look at the desktop"? I guess this is something for experienced users!?
Knowledge about actual mount point is domain of experienced users that want to see files in a terminal window.
For those using KDE the way is to use drop down menu: Control > Tools > Open Terminal which will open terminal with proper path already set.
The other way is to create new panel within Dolphin file manager, with: Control > Panels > Terminal which will provide terminal.
For 12.2 that I currently use it will be something like: /media/openSUSE 12.3 KDE Live/ or whatever storage label is used instead of "openSUSE 12.3 KDE Live". Guys with 12.3, or 13.1 will see different path.
In other words I don't really understand whole discussion about mount point change.
I don't need a distribution which is made for desktop users only. I do not use arbitrary buttons, drop down menus, file managers or whatever to simply access some files. I am using their paths. It's annoying to have such paths changed all nose long And if it really doesn't matter where it's mounted, why change it then? cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
