How to avoid files from opening when mounting a device

Asked by Christian Nänni

Hi

I use a script after login to mount a number of SMB shares. For each of the shares mounted, files will open a new window.
How can I configure files not to open when a drive or share is mounted?

Thanks
Christian

Run this command in the terminal: "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open false"
To enable auto opening again run: "gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open true"

Thanks Fredrik, that worked (did through dconf-editor though).
