udiskie 1.4.4

Removable disk automounter for udisks

udiskie is a UDisks front-end that allows to manage removeable media such as CDs or flash drives from userspace. Its features include:

• automount removable media when inserted

• notifications (on insertion, mount, unmount, …)

• GTK tray icon to manage all available devices

• command line tools for manual un-/mounting

• support for LUKS encrypted devices

• password caching

• works with either udisks1 or udisks2

• an extensible code base (python)

• a maintainer who is open for suggestions;)

All features can be indidually enabled or disabled (yes, you can submit unmaintainable code and make me salty!)
