0027 This dialog allows you to configure automatic mounting of disks and volumes.

0030 <para>If you enable the automatic mounting features in this module, you will not need to use
0031 the device notifier applet or the navigation panel in the file manager to get access to a 
0032 recently plugged in device.

0034 
0035 <para>At the top of the dialog you find the global settings, which can be overridden
0036 for each single device in the <guilabel>Device Overrides</guilabel> list.
0037 For a single-user desktop it is recommended to have all the 
0038 check boxes above the overrides list enabled.

0043 When this is unchecked, no device automounting of any kind will happen, 
0044 regardless of anything selected in the <guilabel>Device Overrides</guilabel> section.

0050 <listitem><para>
0051 When this is checked, &plasma; will only automatically mount devices it
0052 remembers. A device is <quote>remembered</quote> if it has ever been mounted before; &eg; 
0053 plugging in a &USB; media player to charge is not sufficient to <quote>remember</quote> it.
0054 If the files are not accessed, &plasma;
0055 will not automatically mount the player next time it is seen. Once they have 
0056 been accessed, however, &plasma; will remember to automatically make the contents
0057 accessible to your system.

0078 This list contains the storage devices known to &plasma;. If <guilabel>On Login</guilabel>
0079 is checked, the device will be automatically mounted even though <guilabel>Automatically mount 
0080 all removable media at login</guilabel> is unchecked. The same applies for 
0081 <guilabel>On Attach</guilabel>.</para>
0082 <para>
0083 If <guilabel>Enable automatic mounting of removable media</guilabel> is unchecked, the 
0084 overrides do not apply and no devices will be automatically mounted.

0089 <listitem><para>
0090 Clicking this button causes &plasma; to <quote>forget</quote> that the selected devices ever
0091 existed. This is only useful if <guilabel>Only automatically mount removable media 
0092 that has been manually mounted before</guilabel> is checked. Once a device is 
0093 forgotten and &plasma; is set to only automatically mount familiar devices, the
0094 device will not be automatically mounted.
