Can you explain with more simple words please ;). I don't see what the
feature behind

Actually it's just a hot plug so it display only plugged device after
starting the system. It is possible to add other device plugged before the
plasmoid starts. I think if we display all plugged devices we will have a
big list with too many items. Actually i write a code that remove items
after a x time to have a small list in order to clik quickly on an item. We
can have a list of device in dolphin or konqueror.
