Is there any reason to have separate eject/unmount for USB sticks? To my knowledge there's no harm from ripping out an unmounted USB stick, so the eject button might as well simply unmount it in that case.
I'm in favor of removing "eject" from USB sticks altogether - all it really does is require the user to unplug/replug it if he wants to get back to his data rather than double clicking it again. When you click unmount there's a nice consistency - you see the stick disappear as you unplug it, and whenever it's plugged in there will be a way to access it. Now, this still leaves the problem of "unmount" being a technical term, but that can be renamed to "safely remove" or something to that effect - the important point is for USB sticks we only need unmount. -- "Unmount" in volume right-click menu, is tech-speak and undiscoverable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28835 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
