KarDevices
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
A little box that handle devices links.
To add one, just drag and drop a file created for a device (DVD, floppy,...) on the box. It could be a .desktop file or something else.
You can then use the wheel mouse to scroll between the devices or the arrows (you can display or hide them through configuration menu)
If the device is not mounted, a click mount it and open a konqueror window in it.
You can also through a popup menu (middle click or click on the menu button) mount or unmount it.
The icon changes depending on the state of the device.
As my desktop contains nearly only devices links (and as these links are not so often used), it is usefull to save some space.
I hope someone else will also find it util ;)

A workaround for this is to remove it (or replace it with an undescore) and then use the option
Name=whatever you want
in the [Desktop Entry] section.
I don't know why there is this problem. It occurs with the use of strip(). It is needed to handle multiple files dropped. But it leads to this problem.
If a Python programmer has an idea about that, it is welcome.

I didn't know that these files could have no suffix. I will fix that in next delivery...

That is why I haven't dealt with it yet in iLaunch. It was very difficult to distinguish between regular files and device files on the Desktop.
