            Bug ID: 297219
          Severity: normal
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
                CC: afiestas@kde.org
          Assignee: kdelibs-bugs@kde.org
           Summary: places pane obfuscates useable locations with useless
                    locations
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: mrmazda@earthlink.net
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: kfileplacesview
           Product: kfile

This sprung from bug 283366 where screenshot
https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=70044 shows a very long scroll in the
(KSnapshot) default left pane in the default size picker window in 4.8.1 (from
build service repo) on openSUSE 12.1.

The picker needs to apply more intelligence in choosing what to put in the
places pane, such as looking at mtab and fstab for correlation and omitting
empty mount points for noauto fstab entries. In the screenshot can be seen a
portion of the 113 noauto NFS and CIFS fstab entries on that system. Normally
the vast majority (as few as 0) of those are unavailable at any given time, and
so should not obfuscate usable pane items by the long scroll through highly
similar entries.

also sprung from bug 283366 and possibly related for purposes of fixing: bug
297217
