Media
You can configure how the file manager handles removable media and devices
that are connected to the computer, such as music players or cameras. For
each media format or device type, the file manager offers to run one of the
applications that are known to support this format, as well as the following
options.

To configure the handling for other media formats, first select the

this format in the Action drop-down list.
