mythgallery does not set the startdir correctly when using removable media

[leo+nospam at weppelman.net]

When mythgallery starts due to insertion of a dvd with pictures, it is nearly impossible to leave the plugin. This stems from the fact that you leave the plugin by ascending 'above' de base directory. Since the base directory (m_galleryDir) is not set to de mountpoint of the removable media, leaving the plugin is nearly impossible.

(In [10030]) Close #1802 by applying patch to set the gallery path when starting from a cd/dvd.

[Aaron McCarthy <mccarthy.aaron@…>]

The patch that was applied to fix this ticket is incorrect. m_galleryDir should always be set to the directory define in the gallery settings. There is logic in the ESCAPE key handler (iconview.cpp:596) to test if the current directory is the mount point of the inserted media. If that is not working correctly then that is where the fix needs to be.

The way I designed this code to work is that ascending above the mount point of the removable media would take you to the "select removable media" menu, ascending past that would take you back to m_galleryDir. From there it is possible to exit the gallery plugin. If this is too tedious and it is desired to exit the gallery directly from the mount point of a removable media then should be removing the logic, or at least conditionally executing it based on a setting around iconview.cpp:596.

This breaks mythgallery for me. With a DVD-video in the drive I can no longer exit the gallery. MythTV starts up and "handles" the dvd using mythgallery.

1. I get an iconview showing audio_ts and video_ts. 2. When I press escape i get Gallery and [DVD_NAME]. This continues in an endless loop and there is no way of exiting the gallery.

Before this patch was applied everything worked correctly.
