I prefer real USB mass storage devices, though. Ah, okay. I guess that would be the opposite of what the OP wanted, though. Quote:
It probably won't update for changes on the internal memory though. Just plugging in an SD card does not seem to do that for me... Last edited by frostschutz; 03-08-2015 at 07:29 AM. |

Yes - but only if you upload them to the ext. SD card.
Of course you could just... make the internal SD card the virtual external one, and the real external one a subdir of the virtual external one. But that'd kind of put a cramp into things. |

No, nickel behaves the same way as if the device would actually be disconnected from a pc: it scans the internal sd for newly added files. The script is:
Code:
echo usb plug add >> /tmp/nickel-hardware-status sleep 5 echo usb plug remove >> /tmp/nickel-hardware-status |

the code I was referring to is this Code:
echo sd add /dev/mmcblk1p1 >> /tmp/nickel-hardware-status And I haven't found a nickel-hardware-status event that would just make nickel go update directly, without involving a dialog... and that's the missing link for the feature the OP asked for Anyhow... probably too much effort for such a minute detail hehe |

The dialog (if you confirm it) umounts it. And it's not [automatically] remounted afterwards, since the real USB event that triggers this (outside of nickel, through udev scripts) is missing. So you have to extend the script to make the mounts work.
