           Summary: Cannot unmount devices inside the New Device Notifier
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: amantia kde org


Version:            (using Devel)

KDE4 has the system wide issue that it is hard to find how to unmount devices (you can do it in Dolphin or a file dialog). The New Device Notifier would be a good place for this functionality, if it'd show the mounted devices as well, not just what was recently plugged. As of now, as soon as a device is mounted (well, only by clicking on it in the device notifier dialog, not if it is mounted e.g in Dolphin), it disappears from its list.
The proposal is:
- show there all user mountable devices, even if they are already mounted
- provide context menu to mount/unmount/eject
