I came to appreciate the checkmark in the device notifier a lot, it would actually make sense to show this indicator always when a device has been unmounted. > Oook! if it's a design decision I'm ok with it, but there is at least one > situation with the tearDown action which is not covered by the "local > notifications", which happens when the user removes the external device > without unmount it.

Yes, ext4 is a lot faster, but it's also more fragile, so this case becomes more important over time. Warning is too late then, though. I'm not sure how useful a "You just did something incredibly stupid, but oh well, too late :P" is to the user. Might prevent from doing that a second time, though. > So, what do you think about it? -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 _______________________________________________ Kde-hardware-devel mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-hardware-devel
