on external device plugging, no notification, nor safetely remove
Last modified: 2011-06-28 18:48:11 UTC
feature for 3.2 In a really common user-case, I plugged-in my usb stick, but not an action dialogue, nor a device icon, therefore nor an immediate way to safetly remove it, showed up. The only way is to lauch nautilus, not the slickest indeed.. Solutions: - Show a persistent notification in the status tray? I'm not so sure, people using touch devices don't have an immediate way to acces it. And probably it should be used the less possible. - Pop up an icon into Dash? My preferred way. Unity does it and I find it jolly good. thanks, hope it helps alex
Created attachment 185450 [details] [review] New extension: Removable Drive Menu Adds a menu in the system status area that tracks removable disk devices attached and offers to browse them and eject/unmount them. This is an extension, not a patch to core shell, but I'm attaching it because it needs some design before it can be approved. Currently it shows a menu with a list of removable disks and an eject icon. It doesn't include notifications when the drive appears, as those should be handled by gnome-settings-daemon automount plugin.
