Hi guys, My name is Christian and I'm the main developer of media-applet a small utility for gnome that handles removable devices and local disks. http://live.gnome.org/media-applet In order to satisfy requests of people using media-applet, I'm working to introduce a better notification system that notifies people when a device is unmounted. I have already made this on the latest svn release of my project, but I have an annoying problem: gnome mount notifies users that they can remove the device only when a device that require writing data to disk is unmounted (after all data has been written on it), but this way I got 2 notifications telling the same thing to the users, the first from gnome-mount and the second from media-applet. See this Screenshot for a better understanding http://lh4.ggpht.com/__2Z1sAOuevg/Sb6FtSFcyqI/AAAAAAAAAwc/uD6UnYi0JWk/s720/Screenshot.png Since I think that gnome-mount is the proper place for handling this kind of notification don't you think that it could be useful for users to introduce in gnome-mount a notification that always appears when a device is unmounted and not only when you unmount a device that need some data to be written on it? Maybe this could be a user-activable feature through gconf. If a device is unmounted with an application different from nautilus (for example using media-applet :) ) there is no feedback telling you that the device was unmounted and a notification could be very useful. Thanks for your attention, Cheers Christian |
