Bug Description

It seems now to only be 'Always' (default), or never via the blacklist though the blacklist is only persistent for internal volumes
You should add a new schema to allow 'only when mounted', individually or in general .

This seems to be a regression re. uaer's flexibility as to what is shown in the launcher.
It is an all or nothing choice, I only want mounted volumes showing. as was previously implemented.
Now with some upgrades to packages the "blacklist" option in dconf gets unset and I have to again remove all volumes individually from launcher to rebuild the blacklist.
Very Irritating!
If I may ask, why would anyone want ALL volumes constantly in their launcher when nautilus/files offers easy access?
I know this is not a discussion area, but a quick link to the discussion reguarding the logic of this would be appreciated, Thank You!

And I do not want any disk icons to be shown in the launcher. This is not a wish list issue. Developers have removed that from CCSM voluntarily. So it a regression - lost of functionality. Please, restore previous functional state.

Agreed - removing a used feature without any specific reason is a regression and should be treated as such.
I also don't want to see any disk icons in my launcher. Please, restore previous functional state.

BTW., I've tried to add an UUID (FAT32's) to the blacklist, but it does nothing... Please fix that too!
