The long standing lack of UI when unmounting USB disks in Kubuntu was fixed by a patch in the last week of Feisty development.  This spec is therefore mostly redundant, except we have one small change to the UI. The long standing lack of UI when unmounting USB disks in Kubuntu was fixed by a patch in the last week of Feisty development. This patch was not perfect. The new proposal is to remove the patch and make a wrapper to kio_media_mounthelper that provides the progressbar only. With this wrapper we get the progress dialog instantly.

Please check the status of this specification in Launchpad before editing it. If it is Approved, contact the Assignee or another knowledgeable person before making changes.

Summary

Improve removing media dialogue in Kubuntu.

Rationale

The long standing lack of UI when unmounting USB disks in Kubuntu was fixed by a patch in the last week of Feisty development. This patch was not perfect. The new proposal is to remove the patch and make a wrapper to kio_media_mounthelper that provides the progressbar only. With this wrapper we get the progress dialog instantly.

Use Cases

Flora wants to remove her USB disk, a dialogue pops up to tell her to wait for the data to sync and goes away when the sync is complete.

Scope

User interface.

Design

There is no reliable way to know how far through the sync process Linux is. Change the progress bar in the user interface from a 10 step progress to a bounce back-and-forth progress bar. There is no reliable way to know how far through the sync process Linux is.

Change the string from "Unmounting" to "Syncronising data to disk, please wait..."
