Description
-----------
*udiskie* is an udisks2 front-end written in python. Its main purpose is automatically mounting removable media, such as CDs or flash drives. It has optional mount notifications, a GTK tray icon and user level CLIs for manual mount and unmount operations. The media will be mounted in a new directory under '/media' or '/run/media/USER/', using the device name if possible.

Configuration
-------------
The file '.config/udiskie/config.yml' can be used to configure defaults for command line parameters and customize further settings. The actual path may differ depending on '$XDG_CONFIG_HOME'. The file format is YAML, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML. If you don't want to install PyYAML, it is possible to use an equivalent JSON file with the name 'config.json' instead.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
# This is an example (nonsense) configuration file for udiskie.

program_options:
  # Configure defaults for command line options

  tray:             auto    # [bool] Enable the tray icon. "auto"
                            # means auto-hide the tray icon when
                            # there are no handled devices.

  menu:             flat    # ["flat" | "nested"] Set the
                            # systray menu behaviour.

  automount:        false   # [bool] Enable automatic mounting.

  notify:           true    # [bool] Enable notifications.

  password_cache:   30      # [int] Password cache in minutes. Caching is
                            # disabled by default. It can be disabled
                            # explicitly by setting it to false

  file_manager:     xdg-open
    # [string] Set program to open directories. It will be invoked
    # with the folder path as its last command line argument.

  terminal:         'termite -d'
    # [string] Set terminal command line to open directories. It will be
    # invoked with the folder path as its last command line argument.

  password_prompt: ["gnome-keyring-query", "get", "{id_uuid}"]
    # [string|list] Set command to retrieve passwords. If specified
    # as a list it defines the ARGV array for the program call. If
    # specified as a string, it will be expanded in a shell-like
    # manner. Each string will be formatted using `str.format`. For a
    # list of device attributes, see below. The two special string values
    # "builtin:gui" and "builtin:tty" signify to use udiskie's
    # builtin password prompt.

  event_hook: "zenity --info --text '{event}: {device_presentation}'"
    # [string|list] Set command to be executed on any device event.
    # This is specified like `password_prompt`.

device_config:

  # List of device option rules. Each item can match any combination of device
  # attributes. Additionally, it defines the resulting action (see below).
  # Any rule can contain multiple filters (AND) and multiple actions.
  # Only the first matching rule that defines a given action is used.
  # The rules defined here are simply prepended to the builtin device rules,
  # so that it is possible to completely overwrite the defaults by specifying
  # a catch-all rule (i.e. a rule without device attributes).
  # Filter rules can be passed a list of values, in which case the rule is matched
  # if the attribute matches any of the values in the list.

- device_file: /dev/dm-5    # [filter]
  ignore:      false        # [action] never ignore this device
- id_uuid:                  # [filter] match by device UUID
  - 9d53-13ba               # This rule matches on either of these uids
  - 8675-309a
  options: [noexec, nodev]  # [action] mount options can be given as list
  ignore:  false            # [action] never ignore this device (even if fs=FAT)
  automount: false          # [action] do not automount this device
- id_type: vfat             # [filter] match file system type
  ignore:  true             # [action] ignore all FAT devices

- id_type: ntfs             # [filter] (optional)
  skip: true                # [action] skip all further (even builtin) rules
                            # for all matched devices, and resolve action result
                            # on parent device

- ignore:    true           # never mount/unmount or even show this in the GUI
  automount: false          # show but do not automount this device
  options: []               # additional options to be passed when mounting

- id_uuid: ...              # [filter] match device by UUID
  keyfile: /path/to/keyfile # [action] use keyfile to unlock a luks encrypted
                            # device, bypassing the password prompt

mount_options:              # [deprecated] do not use
ignore_device:              # [deprecated] do not use

notifications:
  # Customize which notifications are shown for how long. Possible
  # values are:
  #   positive number         timeout in seconds
  #   false                   disable
  #   -1                      use the libnotify default timeout

  timeout:          1.5     # set the default for all notifications

  # Specify only if you want to overwrite the default:
  device_mounted:   5       # mount notification
  device_unmounted: false   # unmount notification
  device_added:     false   # device has appeared
  device_removed:   false   # device has disappeared
  device_unlocked:  -1      # encrypted device was unlocked
  device_locked:    -1      # encrypted device was locked
  job_failed:       -1      # mount/unlock/.. has failed

quickmenu_actions: [mount, unmount, unlock, terminal, detach, delete]
  # List of actions to be shown in the quickmenu or the special value 'all'.
  # The quickmenu is shown on left-click if using flat menu type.

notification_actions:
  # Define which actions should be shown on notifications. Note that there
  # are currently only a limited set of actions available for each
  # notification. Events that are not explicitly specified show the default
  # set of actions. Specify an empty list if you don't want to see any
  # notification for the specified event:

  device_mounted:   [browse]
  device_added:     [mount]

icon_names:
  # Customize the icon set used by the tray widget. Each entry
  # specifies a list of icon names. The first installed icon from
  # that list will be used.

  browse:  [document-open, folder-open]
  terminal: [terminal, terminator, xfce-terminal]
  mount:   [udiskie-mount]
