(like the current notification available in exo/Thunar) - Produce an error popup (which disappears in X seconds) if a user does not correctly unmount a removable device before physically removing it (which can lead to data corruption...). Good users will never see this... Since Thunar is a daemon already and handles the mounting of removable devices, it seems the perfect candidate for such an additional feature. The current implementation requires an open Thunar window or a visible (/search for) the device's icon on the desktop. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Taking, since I'm working on it. Benny, do you think this makes sense as something to include in thunar, or would you rather it be a standalone app like what I've written? If it's gonna go into thunar, I'd recommend making it work on the device level rather than volume/partition level, since unmounting a partition may not mean it's safe to remove the device.
I'd say it makes sense to have this in Thunar, tho I'm not yet sure what's the best way to do it. I'll have to look into this.
Use xfce4-volstatus-icon in goodies. Heh, shoulda closed this a loooong time ago.
