Windows: Drive insertion/removal event isn't fired for a card reader
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

WM_DEVICECHANGE does notify about devices which were inserted or removed from main connection ports, e.g. USB, card readers with direct connection to the bus (like one in laptops) or optical disks, but isn't fired for USB card readers. Evaluate if SHChangeNotifyRegister gives better results.

Implemented and tested it successfully. Next step, before commit, is to retrieve only mounted drives as Windows provides all card reader drives (mounted or not).

Used (maybe misused a little bit) GetVolumeInformation() to get only mounted removable drives. Seems to work for now. Doing some tests before uploading the current source code.
