Review request for KDE Base Apps and Plasma.
Changes
-------
Here's the ultimate minimal version - showing the mount point info in the hover tooltip over the free space bar.
Description
-------
If a removable device is mounted using the Plasma device notifier, there is no indication of what the Unix name of the device is or where it is mounted. This information may be useful to the user for (a) accessing the mounted device from non-KDE applications, or (b) troubleshooting mounting or unmounting problems.
The attached patch shows this information when the device is hovered over, just above the "N actions for this device" text. Depending on whether or not the device is mounted, there are three possibilities that can be shown here:
/dev/XXX when not mounted
/dev/XXX mounted on /media/YYYY when mounted
/dev/XXX mounted if mounted but the mount point is not available
Please be gentle, this is my first QML patch :-)
This addresses bug 196939.
