Consider a 3-second click and hold equivalent to a right click. This allows users with a single click button, tap click, or touchscreen click, to access the right-click menu.

(This may be the same as Solution 1, but Solution 1 is not clear if it is a hover or click issue.)

Give the user the option to choose the right-click shortcut: whether an extended click (the Mac OS shortcut), a Ctrl+click, a triple click, Shift+F10 (the Windows shortcut), or some other keyboard/mouse combination.
As someone with a mouse with a non-functional Right-click button, this is something that I would definitely appreciate.

I know this may sound rediculous, but I think we've come to the age where the right click is almost non-existant. Rarely do I move my fingers over to that part of the mouse. Most applications can be run seamlessly without ever using a right click, and so when I do it feels foreign

I propose simply eliminating the right click altogether, and implementing easy accessibility

this way it is evident when the eject button has been pressed. in the current state it functions as a picture, and users cannot tell if they have actually ejected the filesystem.

when a system is unmounted, have the name (once the USB has been removed), fade away.

I know compiz could easily handle such an action.

as it is, when a filesystem is removed, the refresh is that once it was, and now it isn't. There is no fade to make it smooth.

I have my habbits, like other people, and I don't want that thoses methods disapear. So I had to demote #1.
But the idea of the umount icon in Places was good and I needed a way to show it.

In nautilus panel (looks like it's the panel of #2) show a mouving circle (like in Firefox on the upper right corner) while the volume is beeing dismounted. So you can see the action is in progress and you'r not exposed to dbus errors because you can't ask to dismount twice.)

GNOME should using fuse to control devices. FUSE should monitor device activity and since some amount of time should unmount the device. When application needs access to place on FUSE file system, FUSE should mount file system automatically. Also show mini icon in side of device icon.

USB standard should provide way to inform system device like to be unplugged. System may to be informed when we click some button on device.

i don't wanna press any unmount buttons, i just want to pull the damn thing out!!

if there isn't any interaction with the usb device, its always in a state in which it can be pulled out, and the icon simply vanish if you do.

however if there is interaction and you pull out the device,
you will get a big popup, and the request to put the device back in again so it can finish its stuff...

the status could be indicated on the icon:


ready for removal


busy

or maybe some kinda flickering icon if its active...
(like led lights do usually)

Media Applet meets function to disassemble and assemble, it also allows you to open an application associated with the type of device with just one click on this.
When you do not know they recommend (http://live.gnome.org/media-applet).

ok, it's similar to #1, and simpler than #9. When the system detects devices that could be unmounted, it shows an applet on the main bar with the eject icon. If I drag the device desktop icon to the icon it is then unmounted. If I click on the eject icon it shows a list of devices that I could unmount. Click on any of them to unmount.

Once the resource is unmounted, a "new eye candy notification" should notify us

Take a look at the mockup (unmounted notification not included :)

The proposed system unmounts the drive automatically and invisibly. The user simply plugs in the drive, does work, and removes the drive.

When the drive is plugged in, the OS mounts the drive to read the directory tree then unmounts it. The user can then navigate the directory tree as normal; he doesn't even know about the mount state of the drive. If the user opens or copies a file, the OS again mounts the drive reads the data and unmounts it.

In the case that the user is using a program that places a lock on the file, there are a couple of options:
1) The OS watches all locks on the drive; as soon as they are released (presumably the user closed the program that created them), the OS unmounts the drive.
2)The OS creates a fake structure that the program thinks is the disk, but it is on permanent storage. The OS watches the locks and when they are all released, the OS writes the changes to the disk. This is more complicated, but saves the user if the disk is removed while a file is still locked. If this occurs, a notification occurs that tells the user to re-insert the disk to finish writing changes.

If the OS detects heavy disk access (requiring many mount/unmount cycles), it suggests the user permanently mount the disk in order to increase speed.
