Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When going to the "Computer" view of Nautilus, I can see "Filesystem"
and a CD-ROM with a label, in this case "DN60AENU2". If I double-click
on the CD-ROM, the path buttons at the top change from "Computer" to "<"
(indicating there is more path to the left) and "DN60AENU2".
At this point, clicking "Up" will bring me to "/media" instead of
bringing me back to "Computer". Listed in "/media" are "cdrom0" and
"cdrom". No "DN60AENU2".
Double-clicking on the symlink "cdrom" takes me to (buttons)
[media][cdrom]. Double-clicking on "cdrom0" takes me to
[media][DN60AENU2]. Switching to a text-based location bar shows the
former as "/media/cdrom" and the latter as "/media/cdrom0".
I recognize why all these inconsistencies occur, but I feel that they
should not.
1. "Up" after "Down" should leave you where you started.
2. If a path is shown as [media][DN60AENU2] then there should be a "DN60AENU2"
item in [media].
3. opening the "cdrom0" item in [media] should take you to [media][cdrom0] not
[media][DN60AENU2].
4. If mount points are to be shown with their volume labels when you're in them
(i.e. when you're at /media/cdrom0 it shows as [media][DN60AENU2]), then
symlinks to them should behave the same.
5. The text-based location bar should be consistent with the button-based one.
6. Is there any reason that CD-ROMs are treated differently from other
removeable media? Most removeable media are mounted at their label, and their
mount point is removed they're ejected. CD-ROMs should work the same way.
