Description:

I made this script because i need it.
It show USB devices mounted (in /media/ ). You can choose what device you want to unmount.
The custom icons directory is created in ~/gnome2/nautilus-scripts/.usbumount-icons/ ( you can change it in Usbumount code if you want it at another place )
I'm learning bash, so the code must not be clean.

dependencies:
zenity
notify-send

and use lang-files with include.
so it's possible to send you only the lang-files and you do not need to provide diffrent versions.
One would be enough.
Interested in a german on, so give us the possibility to send you some lang-files like that.
Greetings

Nice idea not displaying that "Another device" window when obviously useless.

And Great idea adding the possibility of changing icons according to each device.

This is becoming a great piece of code :D

You're welcome! :)

Another idea,

When there is only one USB volume detected, what about not displaying the mounted volume list but just a question box:
"Are you sure you want to unmount '$mount'"?

If No (or cancel) is clicked, then come back to the list...

Good idea ;) I'll see if it's possible to add this without rewrite all the code. But i think it's possible.

How to install this? or Where will I place this script? I'm a newbie...

Hello!
You're not forced to put it in a specific place. You can launch it wherever you want.
But if you want to use it in an easy way, you can put it in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ ( or /home/your_name/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts, that's the same ).
Then, do a right click, go in scripts menu and launch it ( just check if the script have execution permission ).

You can also copy this script in /usr/bin/ .
Then do ALT+F2 ( that's working on KDE and Gnome ) and type usbumount to launch it.

I noticed that notification messages do not display on my system.

I assumed it was linked to the 'notify-send' package which you mentionned as dependecy.

However, neither Synaptic nor aptitude search would find it :(

Any idea (or link :p)?

Okay I googled it :p I should have earlier...

The package to install is libnotify-bin.

Everything seems to work fine now.

On Fedora, notify-send is installed by default.
Glad you find the answer to your problem!

In Ubuntu (I'm not sure if it is available in other distros) there's a panel-applet which can do the same, not with this nice dialog but it's ok.

You can also mount/unmount Devices nicely in Nautilus. This will even get more easy in next version of Gnome.

However, nice App!

I created this application to avoid opening nautilus everytime you want to unmount a device.
I'm on Fedora now. I don't remember this kind of applet on Ubuntu.
Thank you for your message ;-)

And as for me, I don't use gnome-panel anymore, I prefer cairo-dock and awn to make up for that ugly room-wasting bar :p

Note: I tried this applet, and the problem is that it displays not only USB volumes, but any volume whose mount point is neither '/' nor '/home'.

Which means for example, my backup partition, whose mount point is /backup will always appear. And there's no way getting rid of it. (Except by manually altering the code, which I cannot do by myself)

I needed something like that since I've been working with 'show_desktop' off and I wanted a convenient way to unmount my USB volumes.

This is a simple and efficent solution.

I'll report bugs if I encounter any.
Keep up.

You got my vote!

Thanks a lot!!

I've put 'volumes_visible' off in gconf-editor too.
So i needed to do this ( added to Gnome-main-menu it's perfect for me ).
I'm glad you like it!
