GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 47285
Nautilus might popup a dialog if a user drags removable media into the trash
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
If Nautilus begins to attract Macintosh users, they might try to eject media by dragging the volume onto the thrash. It would be good if we could detect this case and popup a dialogue telling them how to eject media with Nautilus. (perhaps we could then proceed to eject the media for them, to be kind, but at least we would discourage the ejecting of media by dragging it into the trash). ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-03-02 10:59:11 ---- What does the current version of Nautilus do if you drag removable media into the trash. ------- Additional Comments From duane@eazel.com 2001-03-02 11:02:43 ---- On Nautilus Hourly Build Mar 1 15:23:47: Floppy Disk => It does absolutely nothing. CD-ROM => It does absolutely nothing. Note: The 'Trash' icon does highlight when the CD-ROM or Floppy is over it, but nothing happens if you let go there. ------- Additional Comments From gzr@eazel.com 2001-03-02 11:16:22 ---- We do nothing. The trash icon does highlight however. We check for this case in the code and ignore mount links. ------- Additional Comments From gzr@eazel.com 2001-03-13 23:01:31 ---- I think we should just not have the trash highlight when mount links are dragged over it. ------- Additional Comments From snickell@stanford.edu 2001-03-14 00:31:35 ---- I thought it would be friendly to inform them why so they get the idea how to handle it properly in Nautilus. Particularly good if a user isn't totally familiar with having two mouse buttons. Not highlighting would probably be good too, if somewhat subtle. ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-03-26 11:20:53 ---- SPAAAAAAAAAM! (Jon Allen has taken these components; QA Assigning bugs to him.) ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 21:06 -------
Suggestion: Dialog title: [ Trash ] You have dropped the disc $Volume_Label in the Trash. Do you want to: ( ) Format this disc [not on ro media, e.g. CD-/DVD-ROM] ( ) Erase this disc [CD-RW specifically] ( ) Eject this disc You can eject discs by right-clicking on them and choosing "eject" from the pop-up menu [smaller font] (*) Do nothing [Help] [O.K.]
Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.
