Hi, Currently I find unmounting removable devices in GNOME is less than optimal for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I don't think I should have to open nautilus or go to the desktop to do this, though it's not the end of the world. Secondly, there is no notification when you just yank out a removable device, and no real indication that you should unmount before doing so, so it's not obvious to new users. I use the drive mount applet to overcome the first issue, but it doesn't solve the second. There is an open bug report about the second, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/208730 which has no comment in the linked upstream bug. From a brief look gio has signals that could easily implement it, but I'm not sure that nautilus is the correct place to implement it. I have two questions. Firstly, the technical one of what needs to happen. Is nautilus the correct place for this? If not, what should be? The second is the more philosophical one, should we be doing this? If so, what should it look like? Panel applet? Notification icon? Something else?
