If you're comparing with the eject icons in the Finder sidebar, they're not directly accessible, in the sense that you can't focus/ activate them separately. They do have better keyboard and menu facilities than us for ejecting things, though: if you manage to highlight a mounted device in the sidebar[1], you can just press Cmd-E (or select File->Eject) at that point. Indeed, you can do this in any Finder window that's showing the root folder of on an ejectable device, whether the sidebar is visible or not. Or, you can just highlight the mounted device icon on the desktop, and hit Cmd-E or select File->Eject. Cheeri, Calum. [1] I say "manage" because unlike Nautilus, the OSX sidebar isn't keyboard navigable. -- CALUM BENSON, Usability Engineer Sun Microsystems Ireland mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Java Desktop System Team http://blogs.sun.com/calum +353 1 819 9771 Any opinions are personal and not necessarily those of Sun Microsystems _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
