[feature]: USB storage mount display in Thunar file manager #21901
Comments
@hansm629 It is not a package request, it is a feature request. |
Probably it can be done in some other way. But the problem is that we can not poll for storage status change, we will have to implement some poller which will invoke storage checking every second/two/five to stay up-to-date... |
@twaik If the mounted USB storage volume could be displayed in real-time in Thunar, it would be a significant leap forward for computing on Termux! :) |
for UX, not for computing. |
@twaik It would be great if this could be reflected as part of GUI usability improvements. The fact that it's now possible to mount USB storage on non-rooted devices, which was previously considered impossible, is already a huge advancement in itself. |
After installing the
Termux app (GitHub Actions build)
with theMANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
permission granted and enabling the Termux permission inAndroid Settings -> Apps -> Special app access -> All files access -> Termux
,I added the following script to
.bashrc
. This allowed USB storage to be mounted through USB OTG on awithout root device.
Both reading and writing work perfectly on the USB storage path.
However, while the USB storage is mounted in real-time on the system, it does not appear in the
Thunar
file manager.If I manually enter the path, I can easily access the USB storage in
Thunar
file manager, and both reading and writing work fine.Could you update the
Thunar
file manager so that the mounted USB storage appears in the list?The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
