Icons of mounted devices on desktop

Post by RunningCat »

Hi

When I plug in a USB device, I get automatically a new icon for this device on the desktop.

Is it possible the get automatically a new icon on the panel instead of the desktop?

Thanks

Hardf to say exactly with no system info, esp. the DE, but you should be able to put something like "Places" on the panel.

I don't that is what I want.

And my system is Linux Mint 19-1 64-Bit Cinamon or what else do you need?

Just booted a cinnamon VB and I see add to panel; removable drives, it appears as enabled by default?

although this would still take two clicks to get to your USB, I don't see the point.
