the computer menus should have unmount and eject actions when an icon is selected

Thank you for your bug. It works fine for me on an usb key or a partition or a CD. Do you have any error to .xsession-errors about that? Do your devices have the correct icons used?

As described in the previous comments, your report lacks the information we need to investigate the problem further. We'll close this report for now - please reopen it if you can give us the missing information.

I've recently upgraded to the latest version of Ubuntu and noticed that the eject option when right clicking a USB drive is no longer available (it's not even greyed out).

While the context menu for a CD does contain the Eject command, the File menu does not.
On the other hand, the Edit menu contains the Delete command, it is enabled and causes errors when executed.
I would expect it to eject the CD to be compatible with the Macintosh interface; if that is not acceptable, it should be disabled.

Yes, this is true, neither Edit nor File contains that command.
I don't see that the Edit > Delete is enabled, though, on Hardy.

thank you for your bug report, do you still have the issue using hardy? could you describe what device your are using and what you are doing exactly?

Not quite the same on Hardy.

1. In the Computer view, select a removable volume and look in the File menu. The Eject or Unmount option should be present, and should act on the selected removable volume. That's not the case on Hardy; needs fixing.

2. Now, double click on a removable volume in the Computer view. In the resulting Nautilus window, look in the File menu. The Eject or Unmount option IS present there under Hardy, so the original issue this bug addressed has been fixed.

I can confirm what Zin Slan says. Should we close this bug and open a new one for the File menu?

I went ahead and opened a new bug for #1 in the comment.

no need for a new bug about the same issue. It can be resolved here. Here is what is left to do.

* Go to "Computer" - select a removable drive - select File Menu -> Unmount option should be present

Ok, sorry about that, I changed the title and description accordingly.

confirming in intrepid and sent upstream on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=540049

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

This is not a small/easy fix... This needs to be done upstream. Not a papercut

A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu 9.10.

For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.

Can't reproduce in Nautilus 3.3.90-0ubuntu6
