Getting volume names

I was wondering if there is a way to get the available volumes in the host system, some time ago I was achieving this parsing the output generated by the "assign" command, of course this was useful only for amigaish systems, but now I need a multiplatform way to get this information.
Any hints?

It's not currently possible, but it might be worth adding. I'll add it to my list of ideas.

Since we are talking about volumes it could be really cool if you could add an event that will be raised when a new volume is added or removed, so we could easily install events using the "Hollywood way":
Code: Select all
InstallEventHandler({ OnVolumeAdded = myfuncA, OnVolumeRemoved = myfuncB })
This could be really wonderful to handle devices like USB removable drives.

Yeah that would be a nice addition.

That's pretty difficult too implement. On AmigaOS it would be easy, but not on Linux

Ok, anyway once we have the volume list we can monitor them manually using an interval function to check if volumes are added or removed
