Hi all, just an idea to make linux/gnome more usable. - I think there is a need to write a hotplug deamon, for example using fam and /proc entries, may be a hotplug layer that can handle different detections method (/dev/ttyS0.. lock for ppp) /proc/usb/devices for example, pcmcia cards. RedHat as made some works about that. - And the appropriate gnome-applet to show that or show a popup to ask what to do ex: open a nautilus window if it's a removable storage : photos open a media player if that storage containts lots of musique/films * propose to burn a CD if it's a CDR(W) (may be a special vfs folder like toburn:/ to store the thinks that you wait to burn). The toburn vfs method should handle simples files/directories and music files (to burn audio CDS). And an app or nautilus view should display the toburn:/ filesystem as tracks (data, audio,...)and allow to drop files/dirs and audio files on. * propose to play/rip a CD/DVD - these links organisated with a tool like the mime-types
