I don't use Dolphin much, being more of a command-line traditionalist, but recently I turned off the automatic Nautilus pop-up that would appear whenever I inserted a pendrive (I don't recall ever configuring it but it was just there). However the pop-up did have one useful feature, viz. that it showed me progress during slow copies of large files. Imagine my surprise when I tried to do the same with Dolphin. 1) No auto pop-up. This is probably a setting somewhere and hence my fault. For now I just click on the drive icon in the Kickoff menu, though a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated. 2) While copying to the drive, if you have the "free space" indicator enabled it dutifully decrements as the file is copied. However the detailed folder display does *not* show the target file changing size unless you hit F5, i.e. Dolphin shows inconsistent information. This is teeth-grindingly ridiculous but not really a show-stopper. 3) On unmounting the drive (click on the drive icon and select "safely unmount") the pending writes are flushed and the drive is unmounted, *but the pop-up window doesn't go away*! Not only that, you can click on a file and the system will try to open it, followed shortly by an obscure error message when it fails. This is just absurd. I hate to say it, but Nautilus has Dolphin beat hands down in this respect (which is the only thing I really use it for). Am I missing something obvious or is this known/expected behaviour? poc
