--- Comment #24 from Stuart K. Smith <stuartksm...@gmail.com> --- There seems to be a lot of rambling on this bug report about loosely related topics. My issue is that a USB device should not have to be unplugged and re-inserted by design. That is a very poor working practice. You should be able to choose or default to Unmount rather than Eject (aka "Safely Remove") devices that do not require ejection. Is there no way for the programming of the Device Notifier to detect if a plugged in device is a spinning hard drive vs. a USB thumb drive? BTW, my WD USB spinning hard drive does not need to be "parked" to be removed. This effectively make Notifier mostly useless for USB thumb drives. If I have to go to the command line so I don't have to reach behind my monitor or PC case to unplug and reinsert my USB drive, then why have the GUI Notifier? At a minimum, "Unmount" should be in the options available and at best be the default choice when clicking the up arrow in Notifier. I'd bet that there are oodles more thumb drives being used than portable hard drives. Let the lesser sized user group have the extra "Fully Eject" option available in the action list but make Unmount the option. Seems way more logical to me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
