That's an interesting argument, which (at least here) fails for the following reasons: 1) As far as I can see, you can't remount the drive from the empty window. You have to click on the notifier and select the mount option. This then opens a *second* window. The first window adds no funcionality whatever. 2) There's almost no visual distinction between an empty pendrive and an unmounted one, though these two states are radically different. Note that I don't claim there is no distinction at all, but it's not obvious to the new user of Dolphin. 3) The presence of the window invites the user to drag and drop files onto it, which simply produces an error message. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
