Re: [gcmd-usr] Mounting folders

[Micha]

There is a workaround, but not perfect.

Let's take a look at the 'mount' command syntax, which is called by gcmd, with 
device and mountpoint (filesystem) it is:

 mount <device> <mountpoint>

So what you can do, is give a <device> like that:

 > /dev/null && cd

Now the syntax parsed to the system call is:

 mount  >/dev/null && cd  <mountpoint>


The first part, mount without any options, spits out the list of mounted 
devices. That output will be redirected to device zero (i.e., dropped). The 
concatenator '&&' appends another command (actually only if the first 
expression returns a value of true, which it always does since it finishs 
without error) and that one is a change directory. Since the mountpoint is 
added after that, the result is gcmd just chanigng into that directory.

The 'not perfect' piece is, that this folder will be dealt like a device, with 
its own root, so you can't leave that folder just by clicking 'up' or so. You 
need to click another mountpoint (fake or not).

It shouldn't be too difficult to clone the 'device' configurator and modify it 
to be a 'bookmarks' configurator, dropping the device and mount stuff, and make 
it a frontend to bookmarks, but still have icons in the 'devices' list (which 
should be renamed to 'places list' or so). But unfortunately its still beyond 
my capabilities.
