            Bug ID: 339276
           Summary: double "open with file manager" entry in devices
                    plasmoid when plugging in mtp android device
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: christian.gonzalez at medworx.at

using version 4.11.4 in Debian wheezy (or the newest version from Kubuntu), the
rule strings for camera:/ and mtp:/ are the same: "Open with File Manager".
When plugging in an android phone, in this case my Galaxy S2 (i9100) in MTP
mode, KDE detects it with both rules and displays two identical possibilities
how to open it. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Plug in an android device which is switched to MTP mode
2. watch the "devices" plasmoid open

Actual Results:  
There are 3 actions, two of them identical: "Open with File Manager".

Expected Results:  
Distinguishable actions for the "two different devices".

Go to systemsettings > "Device Actions"  and watch out for "Open with File
Manager", being there 4 times, for different device types. They all are named
the same, so the user can not distinguish what these mean if more than one of
them are shown in a device plasmoid. Worse, the German translation of these
identical strings are different, so in German you have "Mit Dateimanger öffnen"
and "Mit Dateiverwaltung öffnen" which causes even more confusion.
The camera:/ rule even does NOT call dolphin, but "kioclient exec camera:/" -
whatever is associated with the kio-slave "camera:" will open it. It is not
guarantied that this will be dolphin, right?

There are some solutions to this IMHO, all done with few effort. I would simply
rename the camera rule to "Open as camera", done.
The other one would sound better: "Open as media device", or at least "Open
with File manager as media device" - but this seems a bit long to me.

This is not related to bug #336523.
