Creative Zen not mounted

Hello..
As i writed in the subject, my zen player is not recognized by udev. I tryed several solution but i'm still not solved my problem. It works fine in Amarok and mtp-detect show right informations.
But kde doesn't mount it as storage. I attempted to create /etc/udev/rules.d/10-libmtp.rules file, but same result..

SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", ACTION!="add", GOTO="libmtp_rules_end"
# Creative Zen
ATTRS{idVendor}=="041e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4157", SYMLINK+="libmtp-%k", MODE="666", GROUP="audio"
LABEL="libmtp_rules_end"

Any solutions to explore this device in dolphin? Thanks

Re: Creative Zen not mounted

Well, as far as i know, kde doesn't mount it as storage. You use another program to access it (amarok, banshee, gpodder, you name it) because of the mpt "charm".To mount it you need to use mtpfs (in AUR) and create a dir, then mount the mtp-device to that dir. Then you can explore it with dolphin, but i wouldn't use such way, since mtp has its own way to organize files as opposed to clear usb storage mp3 players. Remember you will have to be in fuse group for such operations.

Back in time when mtp support was worse i found such way to make it work herehttp://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/sh … hp?t=32817

Re: Creative Zen not mounted

Thanks for the reply..

With amarok my zen works fine. But with mtpfs (i followed the howto you linked) i recive a window error when i copy&paste a file. "Impossibile cambiare i permessi nome_file.mp3". (Can not change permissions file_name.mp3). But the file is transfered correctly.  The directory where my Zen is mounted has 777 pemissions. I don't understand... This error message is very boring it compares for each file copied.
I can't add myself to fuse group 'cause it doesn't exist. This could be the problem? Any other suggestions?

EDIT: I think the problem is dolphin because if i use 'cp'  to transfer files i don't recive any error.. Someone knows how to skip this error message in dolphin?
