[SOLVED] Preferred app to react to blank CD/DVD inserted

I apologise if this isn't the correct sub-forum for this question.

How do I control which application gets auto-started when I insert a blank CD or DVD?
Cause if I do, some question will pop up whether I want to burn, play or ignore, or something, but no matter what happens, it'll just disappear. So I assume whichever app it was (it didn't tell me), it is broken and I should therefore switch to another working app.

I looked into (Xfce4) Applications menu -> settings -> preferred applications
but that only has browser, email, file manager and terminal.
Thanks.

When you are using Xfce4 you can use Thunar: Preferences > advanced > Volume management > configure.

It usually is a file manager of some sort.
In case of you are running a desktop (Xfce) you have to understand which of the components there handles that.

I use a combination of udisks2+spacefm for GUI-like mounting / un-mounting and spacefm has some hooks to run on CD/DVD insert, though I don't use it.
