[opensuse-kde] Start Dolphin when USB thumb drive is inserted
Hello all, Does anyone know how to configure KDE4 to start Dolphin when a USB thumb drive is inserted? I have been playing around with Settings->Device Actions and Settings->Removable Devices. So far, I have managed to automatically mount the thumb drive. What I would really like is to automatically launch Dolphin to the USB's mount point. I am using: openSUSE 12.1 KDE 4.9.1 "release 561" Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!

it opens an xterm instance containing mc in /media (where my CF card is auto-mounted and a directory where I store new images.

Does xterm automatically launch when you insert your CF card or do you need to click on the volume in the Device Notification popup? I am trying to get Dolphin to launch as soon as I insert the thumb drive without selecting it.

I imagine there is a way but probably involves dbus ??? -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

By volume, I mean the partition/label that appears in the Device Notification popup window. Sorry for the confusion. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
