--- Comment #5 from Adrian <trac...@causticrays.com> --- (In reply to Jin Liu from comment #4) > Also note that for spinning disks, "safely remove" also spins them down. So > if you change "safely remove" to only do `umount`, that would be a behavior > change for spinning disks, and might be undesirable. As I've said in my original message I think safely remove should remain the main option for removable storage devices for good reason as you've mentioned but, when you right click on the removable storage device, there should still exist the option to just unmount. Just being able to unmount from the UI is extremely useful to me and others. (In reply to fanzhuyifan from comment #1) > Imo having both "safely remove" and "unmount" options may be a bit confusing > for the general user... I think users will always click by default on the "arrow" next to the removable storage device icon on dolphin (see image) if they wish to safely remove the removable storage device (eject). The eject icon also exists on other platforms like MacOS and even other DEs so it's appearance is not totally unfamiliar. If not the behavior of both options I think is very obvious, one making the device inaccessible until you unplug and plug back in the device (disconnecting it) and one just unmounting it but again people will always just click the "arrow" (or just unplug the removable storage device without clicking anything). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
