--- Comment #18 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
regarding where this bug report should live, let me provide a bit of
background.

The actual model for the paces panel lives in KIO, but there are two
implementations of its visual presentation: one in KIO, which you can see in
the file dialog, Gwenview, Kate, and many other places; and another one
specific to Dolphin.

So with the current state of affairs, we'd technically need two bug reports:
one tracking implementing this in the general KIO version, and another one
tracking implementing it just for Dolphin.

However what we ideally should do is port Dolphin to use the KIO implementation
so that all the code is centralized in one place and we don't need to implement
the same feature in two places (KIO and Dolphin. See
https://phabricator.kde.org/T9795. Then we can implement the eject button in
KIO once and all apps that show a Places panel will get it for free.

Kai started working on doing this last year: https://phabricator.kde.org/D26067

Unfortunately the work seems to have stalled recently. :( I think it would be
good to get that going again and move this bug back to KIO so that the feature
can be implemented there, and then once Kai's patch gets merged, Dolphin will
get the feature for free. What do you think?

Oh and thanks for all the bug triaging, BTW. :)
