           Summary: The hard disk monitor should handle removable devices
                    better
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: mail eliasprobst eu


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.
