Xfce 4 mount plugin is a software add-on for Xfce 4 panel which lets you easily mount devices and view them in your file manager.
Xfce 4 Mount Plugin is an excellent addition to the Xfce 4 panel. Its primary function is to enable the mounting of devices and have them opened in a file manager thereafter. Utilizing this plugin is very simple - just add it to your panel, close the options dialog that appears, and click the new hard disk icon in your panel.
The menu that pops up contains all currently inserted partitions and removable media, which is great because it saves you a lot of time switching between screens to access them. To mount an inserted CD-Rom, all you have to do is click on the appropriate line in the menu. If you can't mount it directly, you can easily specify your mount command in the options dialog.
If you didn't receive any form of feedback after mounting the volumes, you can specify your own file launcher in the options dialog to display them after successful mounting. The mount icon can also be changed to suit your taste, such as using a block device symbol, a CD, or a rack.
This plugin is compatible with xfce 4.4, and it doesn't require any other packages besides the panel (and its headers if you intend to build the plugin). Installing a file manager that can be started after a successful mount is recommended. Additionally, the installation of pmount is suggested instead of the conventional 'mount' command.
Recent improvements to the plugin have made it automatic in discovering dynamically added devices like USB sticks. The LVM names are now abbreviated, and the layout of the disk menu has been improved upon.
In conclusion, Xfce 4 Mount Plugin is an excellent tool capable of assisting you in mounting any devices and media, and it is certainly worth including on your panel.
