Idea #16104: Visual feedback for clic on Eject button

Written by cudjoe the 1 Dec 08 at 09:05. Related project: Nautilus. Status: New
Rationale
When the user clics on the Eject button for removable media in Nautilus, there is no visual feedback.

There should be :
- aspect change when pushed (like any GUI button)
- aspect change on mouse over (facultative)
- aspect change while busy

Those details would prevent an impatient user to clic several times, and to make sure his action was taken in account...

+1, gnome really needs this

+1 There definitely needs to be some sort of feedback, but preferably not the floating boxes as seen in various other operation systems :) no names shall be given...

What do you mean by "floating boxes" ?

While busy, I was thinking of a simple feedback like Firefox busy icon.

+1 the eject icon should be become a busy icon to show it accepted the command

How about having the icon flashing while it is ejecting.

Once ejected... well the [eject graphic] should disappear or at least become greyed out.

I think the standard gnome "loading" icon would be fine.

I would also like to see support for ejecting empty drives.

+1 as long as no pop-ups come into play

+1 The current implementation is confusing.
