Konqueror & Media:/ Volume Labels

This particular search is very frustrating. I'd like to make the icons in the media:/ node of Konqueror's File Mgr display the partition volume labels by default. I've posed the query to GOOGLE every way I can imagine, but no joy. I've looked in the KDE User Guide, but the KUG is very slim on details about hacking KDE.

I did find a single answer (via GOOGLE), in which it was suggested that one could customize indiv partition/media labels via the mediamanager.rc file, but that's a per-user solution. Again, no joy. It is possible as a global-setting, bec Kubuntu, Knoppix, and Freespire behave this way. The common denominator ? These are all Debian-based distros.

Is the only way to this goal adopting a Debian-based distro or perhaps someone can share about this undocumented feature of Konqueror ? Thanx....Jet

Dunno where mediamanager.rc file is saved, but every user file as an equivalent systemfile. So it's not only something you can configure per-user.

grep -Hre "WINXP_NTFS" .
./.kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc:/org/kde/mediamanager/fstab/devhda1mnthda1=WINXP_NTFS


Yhat's the result of me renaming hda1 and a GREP to reveal the change. So, it's your assertion that ~/.kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc has a corresponding /opt/kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc. Actually I can create this for the entire system ? That would work. Thank you very much.....Jet
