mrfoggg Not sure what you mean by that. We have the Places applet, which AFAIK still works. Budgie Desktop View will also show active mounts.

JoshStrobl Budgie Desktop View

I've read about this for a while, but I've never seen what it does, because I can't figure out how to access it. Anyone know how?

WetGeek Budgie Desktop View is the new Desktop Icons implementation. All you gotta do is enable desktop icons and voila, you're using it.

WetGeek, I believe it's the system for managing icons on the desktop. If in Budgie settings you enable "Show icons on desktop" then you are using Desktop View.

Was going to add that in this thread a user was able to use it to get his NAS back and mounted https://discuss.getsol.us/d/5847-enabling-budgie-desktop-view/16

(if these neatly dovetailed with your NAS question I'd consider it a victory!)

Indeed. This laptop is host to three VMs with icons on the desktop. All this time I've been using it, and didn't realize there was anything different about the desktop. I'm pretty sure that's by design. Everything I've read about the desktop view makes sense to me now, thanks!
