There is an icon in my panel; it is a small blue screen with the USB symbol on it, and what looks like a white stand behind it. When I hover over it, it says "Last plugged in device: ATV" (That is apparently the name of my USB stick.) If I left-click on the icon a small window appears with ATV beside a small USB icon. When I hover over the icon it says "2 actions for this device". When I (left or right) click on these words, a larger window appears, which says "A new device has appeared. What do you want to do?", the options being: "Open with Dolphin", "Download Photos with digiKam", and "Do nothing". If I click on the first option Dolphin shows me the contents of my stick. Now I see that ATV is listed among the devices on the left; and if I right-click on ATV I am indeed given the option, "Safely remove 'ATV'". When I click on this the contents of my stick disappear. However, the light on my stick remains on. IIRC, under Windows when I click on "Safely Remove" and choose the USB stick to remove, the light on the stick goes off, which I find reassuring. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
