Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources I'd like to see the following changes regarding removable devices (CDs/DVDs, USB-Sticks, SD-Cards, etc.) in the 'Hard Disk Monitor' applet: * Update the volume list of the applet, as soon as a removable device is mounted (could the applet receive a notification via solid?) * Show the according icon in front of the volume, not the hard disk default icon * Provide an 'Eject' or 'Safely Remove' button on mouseover for removable volumes Also the default value for 'Update interval' should be set to a lower value like 5 minutes. The current default (30 minutes) is IMHO way too much.
The safely remove action would be useful in the device notifier - at the moment to remove my external hdd i have to find/open a Dolphin window and do it from there. Another option would be to optionally provide an icon on the desktop, with a safely remove button in the icon "wrapper" (not sure what you call it).
Now, there's a "Safely Remove Drive" button in the Device Notifier plasmoid :)
Re-assigning this bug to widget-systemmonitor where it actually belongs - devicenotifier has all mentioned features. Could anyone update this bug with the current state of the diskmonitor applet in 4.3?
yes, all these things are implemented.
