Files app: new file manager window doesn't open up automatically, when a USB drive is inserted.

Project Member Reported by mkarkada@chromium.org, Aug 26 2017

Issue description

ChromeOS 9765.39.0/ Chrome 61.0.3163.62 beta build.

Tested on caroline, sentry devices.

Steps To Reproduce:
1. User login
2. Insert a USB drive

Expected Result:
New file manager window must be opened automatically with directory entry set to USB  drive.

Actual Result:
File manager doesn't open up automatically. Just 'Removable device' notification is seen.

 
mkarkada@ - Just to confirm, is this a new request or a regression? I double-checked back to M58 and it see the same behavior.
Hi @weifangsun- 
I believe this is not a regression. This issue was not reported earlier, when I crosschecked. I see this issue is existing in previous builds too. Thank you.

I think this is WAI.

The logic is made to open a new volume in a window (or reuse existing one) only when it's a provided volume via FSP, like a ZIP file.

instead it shows notification with "OPEN FILES APP" button for a removable drive. So I guess this is intentional design.

Though it automatically opens the "DCIM" folder in the Files app window, only when the folder with that name exists in the disk, like an SD card of a digital camera.
