CentOS - Aug 2011 - External vfat devices show uppercase filenames, how to change defaults for GNOME desktop?

Hello there!


I've recently switched from Fedora 11 to CentOS6. Now my SD cards
(automatically mounted on plug) contents is displayed as UPPERCASE
filenames.

I well see in mount's man that vfat's shortname option can be set to
either lower, win95, winnt, mixed. OK, that's for entries in /etc/fstab
or when mounting manually.

I'd like to change the defaults for devices that automatically mount in
GNOME.. is this possible?

In gconf-editor, I don't see a storage/ subdir in system/..

Any hint?


Regards,

Still under 5.x but maybe try gconf-tool2...
$ gconftool-2 -g /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options
$ gconftool-2 -s /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options
--list-type=string -t list [shortname=lower,uid=,utf8]

My current camera has file names on a SD card like:-

	IMG_6988.JPG

so I used a simple bash programme to change the prefix and make JPG
lowercase. the output is

	e6988.jpg

Then I use another bash script to copy the contents of a HDD directory
to another directory, reducing the size to 700 pixels wide for my
cataloguing program. That program lets me optionally impose the date and
time, various texts and logos on a standard 900 pixels wide 
copy for use elsewhere.

With Centos it seems the possibilities are endless :-)
