[feature request] Per-volume Unsafe Features

Open bjornmp opened this issue 3 months ago • 4 comments

Basically the idea is to have some unsafe features as a per-volume configuration, rather than strictly global.

Following features would be nice on a per-volume basis:

  • Allow saving password hash using fingerprint
  • Disable volume auto-locking
  • Expose volume when open
  • Grant write access

Yes you are right. This would also solve #240. However, not all features may be worth to be configurable by volume. For example, most of the "Allow*" features only give more power to the user. They won't do anything if they're not used.

How do you think this should be integrated into the UI?

I guess having a settings icon inside the volume itself, next to the sort and lock icon, would make sense.

The icon should reflect the nature of a volume specific config. Maybe a folder + cogwheel icon (just like the volume icon, which is a folder + lock).

Great idea, but what should the icon do? Open the same settings screen, but with global features hidden? Or something else?

Yeah, I guess a similar settings screen like to global one, but only with those options related to the volume. It wouldn't be many options. Probably just those 3 options:

  • Disable volume auto-locking
  • Expose volume when open
  • Grant write access

And once you have such a per-volume settings page, one could easily add personalization features, like setting a personalized icon or color for each volume 😉.
