device notifier icon doesn't notify user that the device is beeing umounted.
Possible solution: The icon should be replaced with a busy widget when the device is beeing umounted.

If the device is unmounted from the notifier, you should already see a busy widget on the right side of the selection;
At the moment it's not possible to know when an (un)mount request by another application is being performed, but this is in my todo list for 4.5 ;)

I know, but a busywidget should be shown instead of the icon (when the plasmoid is on the panel) too...
Comment 3 Jacopo De Simoi 2010-06-20 12:36:10 UTC
In 4.5 there is a busywidget instead of the action button whenever the device is being unmounted (even if the request was done by another process). 

Moreover imho there's no point in showing a busywidget instead of the notifier icon, since the notifier is still usable for devices that are not being unmounted at the moment. 

Sooo, I guess this will be a wontfix, unless you have some other idea

Waiting for feedback…

Closing for lack of feedback. Please feel free to reopen if you can reproduce this with KDE 4.8.3 or later.
