Congrats, nice app :-)
I noticed kay can become a full featured automounter with very few lines of code.

It's sufficient adding also mimetypes for unmounted devices in actionhook.cpp line 317, and if the kded "kded media manager" is on (default in kde 3.4) it will mount the devices when accessed :-)

If you try to copy MS tools, then please do this in a way that doesn't reminds me on them.

You can start with design :(

Hi,
first of all, congrats to your cool addition to KDE! It's badly needed, and I'm already using it daily.
I'd like to mention some ideas though, to IMHO improve usability:
- let the user specify a timeout for showing the dialog, so that it vanishes if it's not clicked during this timeout
- use the standard KDE icon dialog for the choosing of an icon. How am I (a humble user) supposed to know in which hidden directory my krusader icon is buried?
- give the possiblity to use a real path instead of the KDE media:/ stuff, so the user can get size info for his removables. To check this, use krusader and your tool to open your usbstick/anything else. It will open in media:/* and display that it can't get size info for nonlocal devices. Now go to /media/* (the exact directory where your device is mounted) and you will get size info. Should probably be implemented in media:/-kioslave, but this problem will probably persist at least until KDE 3.5
- last but not least, a little bug, but I don't know where the exact problem lies: my blank dvd+rws get recognized as media/blankcd

But as said above, a great tool with a great perspective!
Thanks,

Joost

Thanks for your kind comment!

First of all i have to say that Kay will be integrated into KDE 3.5 under the name of medianotifier so i apologyse but no new version untill that time.

For you features request:

- Timeout is a pretty good idea i'll think about it!

- Using standard icon dialog:done! (moreover you'll see that many enhancement have been made by Kevin Ottens to the the configuration dialog!)

- KDE policy implies now to give a media:/ url when using a media so i don't want to give an other url but i think the problem you quote will shortly been fixed

- For DVD recognization trouble it comes from media kioslave because all Kay do is listening to that slave but i'll see with Kevin what i can do to fix it!

I hope you'll like next version of Kay!

Regards.
