Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
When looking at the properties of a drive, some imformation about the drive should be displayed. This is the current imformation displayed on Filesystem:
Type: desktop configuration file
While this is true, wouldn't filesystem type be more useful here?
Size:
Unknown
Couldn't the size of the filesystem be placed here?
Location
computer:///
Okay, what about mount point?
Mime Type
application/x-desktop
... not that helpful
Modified: unkonwn

Instead of just being a standard desktop file, the preferences of drives should be special, and provided information about the drive (size, device name, mount point, file system type) and a button to open the disks manager.
It's too late for this for dapper, but should be a goal for dapper+1. Does anyone else feel the same way about this?
I would be willing to code, but python is my language of proficiency. I don't think GNOME will allow python code upstream.
