FolderBrowser.zip
(I adapted this code from the Mono Winforms tutorial.)
Current Behavior
When I try to explore to one of the filesystems mounted on my computer, I see
HDD (none, sda7)
which tells me I can open something on a hard disk, and that the block-special device is
/dev/. . ./sda7
This system shows three devices, one for root (/), one for /home and one for /data.
Expected Behavior
It would be much more helpful if the name of the folder mounted on that device could be shown as well as the fact that this is a hard disk.
On another system, we have a lot of bind mounts, which we use because symbolic links to directories are not allowed. They all appear as
HDD (none, vda7)
so there is no way of guessing which one is which. If the directory where this filesystem is mounted could be shown, this would be much more useful.
To avoid changing the existing behaviour, my request could be met through a new optional argument to the function call FileChooserDialog
