Re: [GWhere-discussion] wish: ability of typing path to media by hand

[Zero]

Hi Sergei and list,

GWhere use the /etc/fstab file in order to mount devices. Otherwise, it 
use the /etc/mtab file in order to read the already mounted devices. I 
must study the udev behaviour...

I understand your request about cataloging a subfolder of a disk. I'm 
looking upon how to integrate it. For example, I must found the 
appropriate disk type for the cataloged subfolders.

Regards,
Zero
