| == Release Note == This section should include a paragraph describing the end-user impact of this change. It is meant to be included in the release notes of the first release in which it is implemented. (Not all of these will actually be included in the release notes, at the release manager's discretion; but writing them is a useful exercise.) It is mandatory. |

| This should cover the _why_: why is this change being proposed, what justifies it, where we see this justified. | It is important for new users to be able to switch between different applications in this window without having to enter command-line commands. For a normal user to currently switch to a different app requires that they search the web for the correct command and options to enter. They should just be able to select it from a drop-down list. |

| You can have subsections that better describe specific parts of the issue. == Implementation == This section should describe a plan of action (the "how") to implement the changes discussed. Could include subsections like: === UI Changes === Should cover changes required to the UI, or specific UI that is required to implement this === Code Changes === Code changes should include an overview of what needs to change, and in some cases even the specific details. === Migration === Include: * data migration, if any * redirects from old URLs to new ones, if any * how users will be pointed to the new way of doing things, if necessary. == Test/Demo Plan == It's important that we are able to test new features, and demonstrate them to users. Use this section to describe a short plan that anybody can follow that demonstrates the feature is working. This can then be used during CD testing, and to show off after release. This need not be added or completed until the specification is nearing beta. == Outstanding Issues == This should highlight any issues that should be addressed in further specifications, and not problems with the specification itself; since any specification with problems cannot be approved. |
Identical to the design currently implemented in Preferred Applications. |

Launchpad Entry: simplify-removable-drives-and-media
Created: 2007-10-26
Packages affected: gnome-volume-properties
Summary
Update the 'Removable Drives and Media' window to use the same gui drop-down list style (with the 'custom' option) as
Rationale
It is important for new users to be able to switch between different applications in this window without having to enter command-line commands. For a normal user to currently switch to a different app requires that they search the web for the correct command and options to enter. They should just be able to select it from a drop-down list.
Use Cases
Bob likes F-Spot better than gThumb for managing photos, but when he plugs in his camera, it automatically asks to import them into gThumb. He goes to the Removable Drives and Media window, and selects F-Spot from the list under the Cameras tab.
Design
Identical to the design currently implemented in Preferred Applications.
