As I said it has been suggested. It's a lot of work, so unless someone
steps up to write the code and make patches for all apps currently using
libmtp it is not likely to happen. Besides, e.g. Amarok 2, gnomad2 2.9.1
and Rhythmbox does this already, i.e. "hooks" the device as soon as
it is plugged in. Provided they are started before the device is plugged
in.
