I click on a media entry and I get asked what to do. I click on the "eject" icon to unmount it and no window pops up. There is a tiny icon drawn on the entry as to whether the media is mounted or not.

This is no different than if you have dolphin open to a folder then delete or move that folder. I imagine dolphin could tell you that the folder no longer exists, but this is not behavior only seen with removable devices. At least it doesn't force you to close the window before allowing you to unmount ;) . - --Ben > poc > > _______________________________________________ > fedora-kde mailing list > fedora-kde at lists.fedoraproject.org > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kde > New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAknX39YACgkQiPi+MRHG3qSk0ACeIdjG6WYiJk2u639IsNKr2YQu APIAoJTi2e5FAa+gL9dd1AKcV9lvuL7g =wMO5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
