[SOLVED] Dolphin Media Name

[squirrel]

Hi

How can I change the name of the partition/harddisk shown by dolphin? I don't wanna see the size of the disk, I want the name (sda3/sda5/sda6 etc.).

I tried to rename it, but it will not be saved, even as root....

Any idea how to achieve this?

Hmm - Do you mean: Settings > Configure Dolphin > Bookmarks: Icon/Name/Location ?
You can edit icons and names.

Dolphin 0.9.2

No, I mean if you click on "Storage Media" (system:/media/) then you see not the name of the partition/harddisk but the actual size as the name (sounds stupid but it is like that).

Another question to that: Is there maybe a plugin like "copy the whole path including file name into clipboard"? I know that from WinSCP; very useful.

One way to change "Storage Media" names.

Labeling the partitions (this is for ext filesystem) :

:~$ sudo e2label /dev/sda1 sda1

continuing: sda2,sda3...

Restart, and:



man e2label tells:

E2LABEL(8) E2LABEL(8)

NAME
e2label - Change the label on an ext2/ext3 filesystem

SYNOPSIS
e2label device [ new-label ]

DESCRIPTION
e2label will display or change the filesystem label on the ext2
filesystem located on device.

If the optional argument new-label is not present, e2label will simply
display the current filesystem label.

If the optional argument new-label is present, then e2label will set
the filesystem label to be new-label. Ext2 filesystem labels can be at
most 16 characters long; if new-label is longer than 16 characters,
e2label will truncate it and print a warning message.

It is also possible to set the filesystem label using the -L option of
tune2fs(8).

You could use service menus:

=> Add the whole path including file name into clipboard (klipper)
