The wiki about the project is planned but not started yet. But information regarding this is found at: http://www.powercraft.nl/temp/thunar-actions-plugin-project-description-v0.1.1j.zip At the moment we are trying to get to know more about the plugin functions. Like the rightclick menu and how to insert things in it. We've already managed to insert actions in it, but we're stuck right now at inserting menu's. We have been examining the GTK tutorials and we've found a way to make menu's(attachement included), and tried to compile several GTK windows with different options in it, with succes. GTK looks easy mode. But when we try to combine GTK and a thunar plugin it isn't working the easy way anymore. The problem we're stuck on right now, is how to insert an GTK menu in the richtclick menu? Where does the created menu must be added to? We already tried several ways in the " *.*_get_file_actions "-function, but all with no results. We also haven't found any documentation online what's mentioning the GTK widgets that are made and can be used in a Thunar plugin. We have already examined the SVN and UCA plugin but without any result. I have included the plugin "framework" we use to create a menu. -- Kees -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Since this bug applies to only a very limited range of harddrives (I guess it's only the WD Passport series) no one has really cared for a bugfix (yet). Anyways, I think that it could be sufficient as a workaround to: - either have a customised action in thunar only be applied to this specific drive and spinning it down - or trying to hack whatever function is used by thunar to "eject" media like usb-harddrives so that it would not just unmount but also spindown the drive.

Forgot to ask one thing: do you have an "eject" button for your drive, or only "unmount"? The Xfce 4.4.2 release was somewhat buggy regarding the detection of removable media and providing the eject funktion in the GUI. If you only see "unmount" in the context menu of the drive, you could try exo-eject in the command line to see if that works for you.

What an ugly workaround (my impression is that the Ubuntu folks are great at implementing ugly workarounds instead of fixing the real issue). AFAIK Thunar uses exo, and exo uses DBus to instruct HAL to stop the device, so I'd rather try to fix HAL instead of thunar. My girlfried owns a WD Passort drive (2,5" external 160 GB hard disk), so I'll try to reproduce the issue.

Well, actually using "eject" in thunar gives me a very generic error: Failed to eject "WD Passport". An unknown error occured. > Maybe a more general solution (using hal or udev rules, or something like > that) would be better, and cross-desktop? Well, I tried my best at writing a script (sorry, my skills are really quite low) that would be executed whenever I plugin the hdd (via a udev-rule) and give me a notification icon (with zenity) with which I could eject it. The script seemed to work fine with xubuntu 7.10 but since I switched to 8.04 it's stuck again in a loop... you can inspect the great failure here (if you really like): http://pastebin.org/32753 (However if you simply execute this script in a shell it does exactly what I ask for. The problem seems to be that udev doesn't really execute the RUN-command in a shell.) > What an ugly workaround (my impression is that the Ubuntu folks are > great at implementing ugly workarounds instead of fixing the real > issue). hmmm, yeah, well I guess you're right.

Give 'eject -v /dev/whatever' a try *as root*. Often the SCSI eject command will work on drives like that. See if it fixes your problem. If it does, you might try adding a HAL .fdi file to your system that will set requires_eject properly for your drive. -brian From simon.steinbeiss at elfenbeinturm.at Tue Apr 29 20:22:18 2008 From: simon.steinbeiss at elfenbeinturm.at (Simon =?UTF-8?B?U3RlaW5iZWnDnw==?=) Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:22:18 +0200 Subject: [Thunar-dev] eject usb-harddrive In-Reply-To: <4817643B.10601@cornell.edu> References: <20080429153311.34e6d05e@eleggua> <20080429135832.GB4597@dose.home.local> <20080429163010.66ebf696@eleggua> <20080429150021.GA13916@dose.home.local> <20080429170951.5a0d4b0e@eleggua> <4817643B.10601@cornell.edu> Message-ID: <20080429202218.637f3ceb@eleggua> On Tue, 29 Apr 2008 11:08:59 -0700 "Brian J.

(see the full output here: http://pastebin.org/32834) Anyhow, when I unplugged the usb-cable (that is also powering the hdd) it made this awful sound described in the bugreport mentioned earlier.

Btw., I attached an example fdi file for my card reader, to add the requires_eject property. Maybe HAL does the right thing if you adopt it to your hard disk and copy it to /etc/hal/fdi/policy (check with lshal if it is really set) and then use exo-eject.

I modified your fdi-file and now the hdd shows up as requires_eject = true, but when I try to use exo-eject on it, it still gives me the error. I still attached it, just in case. Actually this time I could see a notification (of notify-send obviously) popping up for a split-second saying that there is data that has to be written on the device... (whatever that means in this context) In the end there was the generic error message again. greetings, simon -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Yeah, I'm not surprised -- it appears that eject just doesn't cause the drive to spin down. Not sure if this is a problem with the drive, with the kernel USB driver, or just a general deficiency that you'll unfortunately have to deal with out-of-band. -brian
