i'm wondering if we should create some sort of plugins/hooks system that
people can drop scripts into... this way rather than modifying
ltspfsmounter for every feature that comes along, it could add the
plugin/hook as part of the KDE related package, or a sysadmin could
install a custom hook for whatever bizarre purpose they could dream up.

it would basically need to call with the device and/or path, the mode of
operation (add, remove, cleanup)... this could be implemented with some
run-parts-like thing (to remain distro-independent), executing any files
that match the appropriate criteria found in a directory ...

i.e. /usr/share/ltspfs/mounter.d contains a script called
kde-desktop-files and when the add function is called, it calls:

 /usr/share/ltspfs/mounter.d/kde-desktop-files /media/USER/USBSTICK add


thoughts?

live well,
