[opensuse-kde] Opening peripheral devices
Hello SuSE people, In my 11.1 testbed with KDE4.2, I finally am able to open my CD & DVD drives, flash cards, and my USB hard drive. When the little device notifier pops up it correctly identifies the app. However, it only gives the choice of opening with Dolphin. In the case of a CD with music on it, it should offer a music player or with a DVD movie offer a video player which it does not. Am I the only one or do others verify this quirk? If I am the only one, is there a config file someplace for hal? I guess it is. If others have the same problem and there is no work-around I will file a bug.

Don't usually reply to my own posts but should explain that I did see the post by Martin, (after I made my previous post) "Tip Device Notifier" posted here. If you go to the URL and read the posts there the tip only works for certain apps. Kaffeine and Amarok will not work and I did not get any results for video DVD's either. ..........<SIGH!!!>.....Just another instance where KDE4 can't do what KDE3 can. I'm glad this is my test bed and I can go back to my rock solid 10.3 with KDE 3.5.10 to get things done. I guess that these two posts have just turned out to be another "rant" sorry about that. Didn't mean it to be. I realy hope that 4.2 gets it's s___ together soon.

I can confirm that file associations for CD or DVD are not configured. It is KDE4 setting, not hal. If hal would be culprit then there will be no notification at all. It is not hard to set that up. See: http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_Configure_Desktop/Advanced/ It is linked from something that I would like to introduce as a practice to help users hitting a problem: http://en.opensuse.org/BugBusters -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
