[Thunar] Hide tmpfs mounts from DEVICES column

I created entries in fstab that look like so:

tmpfs /home/user/path/to/target tmpfs   noauto,user,nofail,relatime,async,exec,lazytime,rw,mode=0777,size=200m  0  0

These fstab entries work as intended except that thunar lists all of them in the Devices creating an unpleasant sight

I have seen archlinux's guide but this seems to work only for block devices, not for "ad oc" mounts like these tmpfs ones.

I created a file at "/etc/udev/rules.d/80-user.hide-drives.rules" with:

KERNEL=="target", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
KERNEL=="tmpfs", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"

But it seems like this isn't isn't the right configuration.

I'm using xfce 4.12 on xubuntu 18.04 (cannot update yet to 20.04 for logistic reasons)

Is there any special handling for tmpfs to achieve this?

Re: [Thunar] Hide tmpfs mounts from DEVICES column

In Thunar you can right-click on Devices and selectively choose which ones to display. Does this help to hide them?

Oh! The devices title! I didn't notice that. Thank you.
