I'm writing a new applet for removable media, "Media" aka "rox-media". HAL, as used by DevTray, is now deprecated, so Media uses the new DeviceKit-disks via libgdu, part of the gnome-disk-utility project. It can also be used in a system/status tray instead of as a ROX panel applet so people who only use ROX to replace the file manager in another desktop should find it useful too. Media still needs more work before it's fit for release, but the basic functionality is there now, so I think it's ready for alpha/beta testing. I've set up a git repository at git://rox.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/rox/Media and you can browse it and download snapshot tarballs at <http://rox.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=rox/Media;a=summary>. To build it you need scons and development packages for gdu, gtk2 (including gdk-pixbuf) and gconf2. At the moment it uses gconf only to get mount options, but I'll probably implement options for things like automatic mounting at some point. It's a good idea to add "flush" to the options for /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options (using gconf-editor for instance). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
