[Bug 41740] Re: not mounted devices lists by nautilus places sidebar

[Bernat Tallaferro]

Having had a look at the upstream bug, I agree with the idea of consistency between the different methods (Places menu, GtkFileSelector, computer:/// location and Places sidebar) but I think the current implementation has only achieved half of that.

Why not apply the idea of consistency all the way through and make the Places menu, the GtkFileSelector, computer:/// and the Places sidebar have all the same behaviour and show only mounted volumes? 

Why is there a need to show unmounted volumes, anyway? The first thing a new user will do is click on the unmounted volume and get a cryptic "Unable to mount the selected volume" error message and think there is something wrong.

And as I said before, I think that the behaviour of Nautilus 2.12.1 (i.e. in Breezy) fitted more to GNOME's idea of not showing unnecessary or potentially confusing information or properties to the user.
