            Bug ID: 480211
           Summary: Feature Request for Dolphin - Add the ability to
                    unmount removable storage devices
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 23.08.4
          Platform: Arch Linux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

Right now when you insert a removable storage device, after mounting it in
Dolphin, the only thing you can do afterwards is "Safely Remove" which will
unmount and completely disconnect the removable storage device making it
unusable unless you unplug and plug in back the removable storage device.

Having "Safely Remove" is completely fine but would be nice if we also had the
ability to right click on the removable storage device and have a "Unmount"
option that just unmounts the partition but doesn't disconnect the device
entirely. This would be very useful for anyone wanting to quickly just unmount,
reformat the removable device for example or write a ISO to it and then mount
it again, without having to constantly unplug and plug it back (which is what
you have to currently do with only having "Safely Remove").

In short, my suggestion is to add a "Unmount" option when you right click on a
removable storage device beside the "Safely Remove" option to be able to just
unmount the removable storage device but not disconnect it completely.q
