If you would like me to test and comment on the package, I am happy to do it. Indeed, I am more of a command line guy then GUI guy and I am not familiar with nautilus-actions,yet. In fact I couldn't figure out how to persuade it to execute umount and use mount-device instead of mount point but again. This is not essential for me but I think it is something that probably users would like to see. Thanks, Lev
