"Hate so many mounted drives cluttering up your Launcher? You can now specify when to hide mounted drives and partitions via the ‘Experimental’ tab in CCSM. (See screenshot below)"

A big hug from Australia to whoever did this! <3

Would it be possible to have:

Power users > show mounted icons on launcher

Like the old: gnome > show mounted devices on desktop

?

I prefer having neither showing as I usually only access my device once after I plug it in, and it can appear poorly organised if there are 4+ devices mounted showing in the launcher.

NO!

I PREY this doesn't happen. I LOVE having mounted devices show up in the Launcher. I also love having an icon show on the Desktop. The desktop icon always reminds me I have something mounted when I close my windows. And I routinely access the launcher icon of mounted devices.
