Recently I installed new CVS checkouts of kdelibs and -base on my system and played with the new Kicker. Kudos to Aaron for all the changes, fixes and new features.br /
br /
Now, I just added the Storage Media Applet to my Kicker and noticed a few things:br /
br /
1. It rocks img src=http://chris.de/templates/default/img/emoticons/wink.png alt=;-) style=display: inline; vertical-align: bottom; class=emoticon / I got used to mount / unmount / eject my CDs, iPod and Cam with it. Two clicks instead of a few keystrokes in Konsole. And it even shows the current mount-status, hooray!br /
br /
2. Ejecting audio discs doesn't seem to work. It tells you, that the current disc couldn't be mounted - which is correct, but shouldn't matter at all img src=http://chris.de/templates/default/img/emoticons/wink.png alt=;-) style=display: inline; vertical-align: bottom; class=emoticon /br /
br /
3. After I mounted a disc I clicked Open in New Window, which opens a Konqui-window pointed to media:/hdc. That's fine so far. I got into trouble once I tried opening a big mpeg-movie with xine: KIO started copying the file to my kdecache prior opening it, which took ages. It would be better if KIO detects, that the disc already is mounted and opens xine with the real url (the mounted location) of the file.br /

Nuf' ranting. CVS head feels stable and great atm img src=http://chris.de/templates/default/img/emoticons/smile.png alt=:-) style=display: inline; vertical-align: bottom; class=emoticon /br /

Now start drinking your favourite kind of alcohol, the new year's coming img src=http://chris.de/templates/default/img/emoticons/wink.png alt=;-) style=display: inline; vertical-align: bottom; class=emoticon /br /
