Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

In a nautilus window for a removeable device, there should be a bar at the top of the window with an eject button in it (like the bar at the top of the Trash saying "Empty Trash"). Having to right-click and use the context menu is really annoying and undiscoverable.

This is a feature request, not a trivially fixable usability bug; therefore, it is not a paper cut.

Upstream closed the bug with that comment

"We have eject on the sidebar for all mounted media. We also show removable
media in the message tray. I don't think we need to offer an infobar on every
directory under that mount point."
