Hi Everyone
Does anyone else find the most recent version of pmount to be in one respect a backward step -[ what an awesome programme pmount is by the way - why can't the mega mainline distros make it so simple to mount/unmount partitions?] - in versions up to puppy400 all partitions [floppy, hd, cd/dvd and usb] appear in a single list so it's easy to just scan down and make sure all are unmounted when closing down - or only the right ones mounted for some new task - but when the different types of partition have their own tabs only one of these can be checked at a time so it's not so simple to do at a glance - maybe there is a reason for preferring tabs but the simplicity of a single list seems to me such a big plus it's sad to lose it - maybe I'll just have to stick with NOP400 which is great by the way - now I've added ooffice3 and thunderbird it seems closer to perfect than I have any right to expect.
best wishes and many thanks to NOP team, John

Hi there
Thanks for all your comments:
muggins - I hadn't thought of that - that the two 'looks' for pmount might just be alternatives that could be toggled - I must check it out
rjbrewer - hadn't thougth of the desktop drive icons as alternatives to pmount - I just like my desktop tidy [for me that means pretty empty] so I'd just removed them - I'd better rethink that
zigbert - pdrive is completely new to me - I must follow up yur link - good to know about it
Best wishes, John

Thanks J-Bob
I should have looked under the hood first, shouldn't I - so easy when you know it's there.
also thanks to rjbrewer
your idea of having one drive icon and right clicking to show others is new to me - must try it out
Best wishes, John
