"The Nicest Mount Epplet Around" (tm).
Written by Christian Kreibich - 1999
This Epplet mounts and unmounts your various filesystems.
_Usage(usage)
_Configuration(config)
The Mountbox was designed with the the way Enlightenment's iconbox
works in mind. For every user-mountable device you have in your system, the
Mountbox shows an appropriate icon. You can scroll back and forth
among the montpoints using the arrow buttons. Scrolling wraps around after the
left- and rightmost icons.
By clicking on the icons with your left mouse button, you can mount and unmount
your filesystems. When a filesystem is unmounted, the icon is displayed in
a translucent manner, when it's mounted, it's fully opaque. You even get a nice,
smooth fade between the two states for free :)
mounted . . .......... . . unmounted
Right-clicking on the icons will show details about the devices and their
mountpoints, respectively.
You can configure the images for the Mountbox background, the types of devices
that the Mountbox recognizes and icons for these types using the configuration
dialog:
The default icon defines the icon that is used for all devices that cannot be
matched by one of the patterns (see below). The background image is stretched
behind all the device icons.
In the "Pattern" and "Image File" entries you can define how the various
devices are shown in the Mountbox window. If the text given as a pattern is
contained in either the device name or its mountpoint, there is a match and
the corresponding image is used. You can browse, add or delete definitions
using the control elements below.
By default, E-Mountbox ejects media after unmounting. You can disable
this feature in the configuration dialog completely or enable manual
ejecting for unmounted media using the third mouse button.
Note that ejecting is available only when the "eject" program is
available on your system (if not, look at sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/utils/disk-management).
By default E-Mountbox also polls the mountpoints on your system in regular
intervals to see if their status has changed and updates its display accordingly.
You can disable the feature or set the interval length in the configuration
dialog.
That's it.
Have fun,
