If you click on the <device notifier> plasmoid you will see the usb stick. If you move the cursor to the righ side an upper arrow shows up. Click on it and the usb is umounted. If the device is a dvd, the dvd will be ejected.

So I made a Device Notifier, thinking it would be on the panel. But instead, it is placed at an apparently random position on the desktop (not the Desktop Folder, of course. I can see that making a number of them could be used to produce a satisfying mess on the screen. It has two levels of useful commands, but it isn't clear why those are listed under "Plain Desktop", since no other kind of desktop is mentioned. Then I discovered (I don't know how) that the Device Notifier can be attached to the "Desktop Folder". [...]
When you have the "add widgets" window open, drag the device notifier widget to the panel instead of just clicking on it. The default action might be to add it to the desktop (or a desktop folder) but you can drag and drop it to wherever you want (including to the panel).
Is this intuitive? Is there any hint that this is what one is intended to do? Or is one expected to get psychic messages from the KDE team? [...]
Actually it was the first thing I tried when I wanted to make it work. I usually only try other methods when "drag'n'drop" doesn't work (but maybe I think differently and have different expectations of user interfaces than you do, which is fine, by the way - different strokes for different folks, so to speak). -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
