Ummm... if you haven't mounted the USB stick, there's nothing to "eject" or unmount... so... there is no option to unmount a device that's not mounted. If you mount the USB stick.. ie open it in Dolphin... then you can unmount it as I described.
I have got it now. Clicking on the icon in the Device Notifier brings up the window asking me what I want to do with the stick. From kde3, I had associated this with an unrelated action, but now I undestand I have to click on Open with File Manager, and only then to think about ejecting. Yes, this is different from what I have seen in the laptop machine (which also runs exactly the same kde 4.3.5-0.1.1 as this desktop machine), in which a simple icon, with a powerful menu, does everything in an intuitive way and in fewer steps. In other words, one can't profit from experience on one installation and predict what will happen on a second installation of exactly the same kde release. Personally, I don't think that's anything to be proud of. I think there is a real advantage in consistency, but that doesn't seem to be much valued in KDE4.. Thank you for making clear to me.how to eject a USB stick. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
