What about allowing thunar's custom actions (or similar) for mount points on the Desktop? The idea here would be to allow calling custom scripts for removeable devices, such as remounting w/ specific options. Similar to nautilus-actions in GNOME.


Reproducible: Always

Does thunar support custom actions on removable devices?  I didn't think it did...

Ok, I just checked, and I don't think thunar supports them, so I don't know how xfdesktop would use them.  You could create custom actions in thunar that only act on folders under /media/, which is where all removable devices are mounted, and it should just work.  I haven't tried it myself, though.

Hi, as said by Brian, custom actions are not available for removable devices in Thunar either. On a side note, xfdesktop doesn't support UCAs at all yet. So I suggest splitting this bug in 2 parts:

 * Thunar: support custom actions on drives/removeable devices.
 * Xfdesktop: add support for Thunar's UCAs.

As this bug has not been touched for 7 years, I'm now closing it. Feel free to open the 2 mentioned bugs if you'd like to see this supported.

Thanks
