Description Sebastien Bacher 2009-03-04 13:49:15 UTC 
using 2.25.92, right click on a cdrom icon, eject and unmount are listed which is confusing for users who don't know the difference, only eject should be there

	Bug 574067 – context menu lists eject and unmount option

        * src/file-manager/fm-directory-view.c:
        * src/file-manager/fm-tree-view.c:
        * src/nautilus-places-sidebar.c:
	Never show unmount menu item if we're showing eject, as its a superset
	of unmount.
Comment 2 Radoslaw Warowny 2009-03-23 08:04:42 UTC 
There certainly are Gnome users that know the difference between unmount and eject, and they would like to have both options, see bug 337598 (registered 3 years ago):

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337598

Couldn't be added an option to show also unmount menu item regardless of eject ?
Comment 3 David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2009-04-10 01:03:15 UTC 
No, this is wrong. Especially since eject will unmount all volumes and either a) eject the media (cdrom); or b) make all the partitions go away (e.g. usb sticks). This is especially going to be a problem given the proposed changes in bug 576587 (e.g. make everything ejectable). Please revert.
Comment 4 Alexander Larsson 2009-04-11 18:47:28 UTC 
I've re-enabled both unmount and eject as per dicussion in bug 576587
Comment 5 Sebastien Bacher 2009-04-11 19:01:02 UTC 
do you really want to change that in stable now rather than wait for next cycle to make something coherent for users?

Doesn't comment 3 illustrate why that behavior was broken to begin with?
