LXDE disable auto-mount

It seems lxde started auto-mounting the usb devices when you plug them in.

Do you know how can I disable this mis-feature?
I looked in the manual, but I could not find the way to keep the previous way that mounted only when I tried to browse...

Thanks

Re: LXDE disable auto-mount

i think lxde and therefore by extension pcmanfm uses udisks to mount drives, if I am not mistaken. you will need to disable it in the udisks events.

The LXDE wiki still mentions that you would have to click on it to mount it

The manual explains the old way: now when I plug in a window appear asking me what to do. It is MS windows style.
