           Summary: Mount dirty NTFS/FAT volumes
           Product: kresources
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: local
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: enderandrew at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

Having switched some non-technical family members over to Linux, I often hear
complaints that they can't mount flash drives. Usually this is because they did
not unmount it cleanly in Windows previously. It is possible to open a console
and do a force mount, but this isn't user friendly, nor obvious to the
end-user.

What I'd like is a dialog that explains clearly why the volume is dirty, with
instructions on how to properly dismount the drive on Windows, Mac and Linux.
It should be explained this is the preferred fix for the issue.

There should also then be a prompt to do a force mount if the user desires. The
user should never need to touch a konsole session for this.
