Hello metalworkers! as far as I can see there has been some behavioral change in dealing with previously mounted devices (with the udisks backend at least):
- in kde 4.6 and previous releases a device stays visible (in dolphin and the device notifier) after being unmounted; - in current master a device disappears after the release process. I am not sure whether this is a wanted feature or a bug, but I couldn't find a commit in the log where this behavior change is mentioned. If the change was planned, as the device notifier mantainer I don't quite like to have this as the default behavior: first of all because it's a quite radical change and people have been educated to the old way of dealing with devices since ever; on top of that, the behavior would be different for different backends, and this is not good at all. Moreover, there are issues with the feature as-is: in particular if a device with more than one partition is plugged in, and one partition is mounted, unmounting it will make all partitions disappear; this is definitely not correct, and not what the user would expect. Moreover I suspect that this applies also to multi-card readers and such and this is again unexpected. If the change is a bug, then I'll be happy to help fixing it :) Lukáš, do you know more about this?
