Hi,
I'm sorry about "thread hijacking" the other thread, I never heard of this but I will not do it any more. I'm not sure if this is also "top posting" or not but if it is I do apologize for it. I'm also sorry this email is so long.

Hi,
Can someone tell me the correct command and parameter for a new action in the Device Actions? I'm not a programmer but have tried guessing several combinations. I really don't have a clue!
What I would like to do is add an option to the pop up menu when I put a CD/DVD into the DVD drive. I would like an option for Dolphin to open up so I can easily view the files on CD/DVD's. I'm a recent convert from Windows and I have several hundred music CD's. I know there are several file types on audio CD's. I'd like to copy the FLAC and OGG files into my music directory. I'd also like to look at video files too.
The name of the new command is: Open CD/DVD with File Manager
I don't know what the command should be. I don't know what the parameters should be.
I did some searching on the internet and found that my CD/DVD drive is not included in the /etc/fstab file. I tried adding it and my computer did not like the change I made. I'm glad I have Parted Magic.
This is what my fstab says:
# # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Wed May 30 10:26:51 2012 # # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk' # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info # /dev/vg_nrlacasse/lv_root / ext4 defaults 1 1 UUID=011851a9-8e9f-4bca-a834-6860abac0737 /boot ext4 defaults 1 2 /dev/mapper/vg_nrlacasse-lv_Home /home ext4 defaults 1 2 /dev/mapper/vg_nrlacasse-lv_swap swap swap defaults 0 0 UUID=bed0b4f6-a25b-4332-8e39-2259a9989378 swap swap defaults 0 0 UUID=331fd93b-f67c-412c-bc73-b877077269f7 swap swap defaults 0 0
I tried adding: /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom auto defaults 0 0
If this is why I cannot see the CD/DVD's in my media directory can someone tell me the correct information to add? Is the DVD drive part of the vg_nrlacasse logical volume group?
Should it be: /dev/vg_nrlacasse/dev/sr0 /media/cdrom auto defaults 0 0
I also did this wodim --devices to see what it said.
This is what I got.
[NRL@NRLacasse ~]$ wodim –devices wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) : ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 dev='/dev/sg3' rwrw-- : 'ASUS' 'DRW-24B1ST a' ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [NRL@NRLacasse ~]$
The CD/DVD Drive is at: /dev/sr0
Thanks, Norman
So, when I insert a data cd/dvd, I already get as one of the default actions from the kde device manager: Open with File Manager
No need to do anything to achieve what you want here.
Fwiw, what controls this is stuff under /usr/share/kde4/apps/solid/actions/ test-predicate-openinwindow.desktop, I believe in this case.

Hi Rex, I do not get this option. I will look into this, thanks Norman
