    Relabeling Drives

    I'm running 14.04. When I open Dolphin, here is a précis of what I see:

    Places
    Home
    Network
    Root
    Trash

    . . .

    Devices
    465.8 GiB Hard Drive
    183.3 GiB Hard Drive

    Those two drives correspond, respectively, to "Home" and "Root." Is there a way that I can make the "Devices" list show them by name rather than description? I cannot do it with GParted because I would have to unmount the drives, which is not possible with the OS running.
    Thanks.

    Have you tried right-clicking on the Devices? You should be able to "Add Location" with a custom name or at least hide the devices, as they seem redundant to me.

      Thanks for bailing me out again, Oshunluvr. I hadn't thought of it as a redundancy. Hiding the devices is a perfectly good solution.

        Good. Yeah, I usually just hide the drives and instead build locations that I want to go to often. Saves a few clicks.

            This. This right here.

            The main reason I heart KDE is configurability. My own places area looks something like this - the netbook shortcuts are to NFS shares -

            desktop

            .local (shortcut to ~/.local)

            .config (shortcut to ~/.config)

            home

            documents

            music (shortcut to music on external drive)

            pictures

            filesystem root

            netbook-home

            netbook-etc

            netbook-external

            trash

            external drive

            phone

            Matches my workflow pretty well
            we see things not as they are, but as we are.

              Exactly, Wiz!
