Hi all. Is it possible to have an icon-button for eject/umount the mounted temporary volumes in the side pane(like finder on osX). thanks.
middle click the volume to eject it
I like the idea of an icon to eject/unmount a volume, since it also gives a visual clue wheather the device is currently mounted or not. Currently, i always have to rightclick on the device to see if the mount/unmount option is availible (In reply to comment #1) > middle click the volume to eject it on my system, this opens a new thunar window with the volume opened instead of unmounting the volume
Created attachment 3139 [details] Provide eject button on side pane for volumes What do you think about this? This provides an eject button similar to nautilus.
Created attachment 3140 [details] screenshot for patch This screenshot is how it looks like if I have an USB stick attached. Please excuse the wild mix of German and English and the totally absent theming, this was running in a chroot. Clicking on the eject icon will cause the volume to be ejected (if available) or the mount to be unmounted.
Pushed to master with a small change (see my commit below).

This makes it much more obvious and easy how to unmount/eject removable storage again. http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3658 Signed-off-by: Jannis Pohlmann <jannis@xfce.org>
