I fell into that trap too. :)

The thing is that normal users are not supposed to work with that list. For 
normal users it works like this:

1. Plug in the external device and mount it with dolphin or similar. The 
device is now known.
2. Plug it in again and it will be mounted automatically

The list is only if you want to override any of the settings for a certain 
device.

Maybe that list could be hidden into an advanced dialogue.
