I'm curious as to what is the technical name given to these pseudo-URLs used by Caja (formerly Nautilus) on Mate Desktop... When I plug USB flash drives / Thumb Drives / Pen Drives (use your naming choice) I get those automagically mounted (automount). But when I plug my Samsung Android smartphone I get this folder displayed... mtp://[usb:001,009]/ Containing two pseudo-devices "Phone" and "SD Card". All looks very nice, except that the devices are NOT mounted as regular filesystem folders. I can only see them on the GUI through Caja. I want to assign the devices some name like /media/myuser/something. How do I achieve this and what is the logic of mounting these devices "GUI only" and unaccessible (afaik) from the command line? I tried "mounting" these pseudo-devices like mtp://[usb:001,009]/Phone but BASH knows nothing about "mtp://" devices. This seems to be some shitty Mate Desktop invention. On my previous usage of Gnome 2 many moons ago (Sun JDS) this wasn't the case, I remember USB mass storage devices magically appeared on the desktop, and that's what I expect here too... but somewhere along the long fork road, Mate Desktop developers came up with this mtp:// monstrosity. Any clues? I tried complaining but I don't even know the name of these damn mtp:// pseudo devices annoyance. When was this introduced and who thought it was a great idea? I'd like to know some real (person) names if possible to complain in person about the hideous nature of this idea... TIA...
