KDE in Trixie: Dolphin configuration to mount NTFS partition missing



The file browser app Dolphin in KDE of Debian Trixie cannot mount out-of-the-box a NTFS partition because a configuration seems to be missing.

I think I found the missing part of the configuration in this comment of this bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445468#c11

I followed it:

sudo cp /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf.example \
	/etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf
sudo nano /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf

placing in the file the mentioned lines:

[defaults]
ntfs:ntfs3_defaults=uid=$UID,gid=$GID
ntfs:ntfs3_allow=uid=$UID,gid=$GID,umask,dmask,fmask,iocharset,discard,nodiscard,sparse,nosparse,hidden,nohidden,sys_immutable,nosys_immutable,showmeta,noshowmeta,prealloc,noprealloc,hide_dot_files,nohide_dot_files,windows_names,nocase,case
ntfs_drivers=ntfs

These steps appear to have solved that Dolphin : NTFS  issue also for me.

Besides not feeling fine if this solution is indeed a valid, maybe even the recommended solution for Trixie and thus won't break things somewhere else - which I do not know about, I urgently recommend to have this, or whatever else might be recommended, configured by default after a KDE desktop installation to Debian!

Best wishes, and thanks a lot for KDE and for Debian!
Marco
