            Bug ID: 412565
           Summary: Mount options
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist

  Target Milestone: ---

When mounting a partition in Plasma, Dolphin mainly, I don't know which mount
options are being used.
This needs to be configurable because, for example, I have an external USB disk
I use to save tons of documents: PDF, EPUB, ODT, old Windows formats, etc.
These type of files are very well compressed, saving a lot of space ("modern
disk are so big that space is not an issue" is a shitty excuse, sorry if any
one was thinking to reply to me with that nonsense. I decide what is big enough
for my necessities, not other persons) and loading faster for the disk needs to
read less data, more useful than it sounds when you have some 400 MB PDFs on a
slow mechanic disk on an USB 2 connection. So, I formatted that disk in BTRFS
and wrote a line in my fstab to mount it using the BTRFS compression.
Well, I read somewhere that Dolphin doesn't read fstab to mount external
partitions, ergo I suppose that my BTRFS disk isn't being mounted as I really
want when I mount it through Dolphin or any other KDE app; it very probably
isn't even being mounted with compression support, right?

So, I suggest to add an avanced tab or something like that to configure mount
options for external drives. Maybe the configuration tool should not be for
Dolphin especifically but a general one for Plasma, and sit in the System
Preferencies app in the form of a KCM module.
