Can I get a list of (unmounted) CD / DVD devices?
-
I know I can get a list of MOUNTED volumes, but what I want is a list of MOUNTABLE devices that are currently unmounted, eg: CD or DVD devices that have no disc in them.
Is there a way to do this?

There are no Qt methods to request this info.

Hi,
AFAIK, you will have to use some ioctl if you are on Linux to query that kind of information. Check the kernel documentation.
-
no i mean is there a cross-platform, Qt class / method that i can use?
that works on both mac & windows? -
No Qt function to do this. In linux each device has a /dev/sr? (for scsi read only device) entry and /proc/mounts shows which ones are atcually mounted.

Thanks for your replies, but i'm looking for Qt specific info for windows and mac. the suggestion for Linux may help someone else, but unfortunately not me.
I HAVE platform specific code but i'd rather not use it.
thanks anyway
