I'd hit a bookmark that would take me to "My Computer", where I could right click on the USB drive to safely remove it. With KDE 4, Dolphin opens, but I then have to open Konqueror to get to My Computer to unmount the drive. With KDE 4, they took a useful feature and broke it, like so many others.
Or you could just right-click on the device in the left hand sidebar and select "safely remove". No need to go looking anymore, and no need for a "my computer"

As usual, Anders, the only thing that is broken is user workflow, not perfect as it was established to compensate for lack of functionality, but well known. Before this post I used Dolphin bread crumbs in an obvious way, learned on web pages, but intrigued with the James post, I did a bit of left and right clicking, dragging and dropping, and I can tell that I'm impressed. Whole line is loaded with functions that make browsing easy, and one of them is safe removal of mounted media. It will show only if you are in a directory where media is mounted. The only thing that is inconvenient is easy removal of items in the Places, which is the name of the list hidden under icon in the root of bread crumbs. One has to click around to find where to activate Places as a sidebar, and then items can be added and removed. So, safe removal is there, right in a Dolphin, the only thing that was missing is a bit of explorer spirit to locate it. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
