Removable Flash Disk "eject" option
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements

Removable Flash Disk "eject" option is a service menu option that allows you to safelly remove/eject/unmount your Flash Disk.
I've made this since KDE doesn't have that option by default and I've seen a lot of people asking how to safely remove their flashdisk.
Hope it help.

this "script" doesn't mount the flashdisk, it does the oposite, eject it using the kio_media_mounthelper command. You just need to copy one file to the KDE service menus dir.
Like guerrier said, some types of usb sticks doesn't work with the eject command , others need to be umounted and ejected, to change it just edit the flashdisk_eject.desktop script file, look to the last line and change the -e option to -u for unmount or -s to unmount and eject.

If i launch the command kio_media_mounthelper -e /dev/sda it in a shell i get following error message: Eject /dev/sda failed!, ok i try with sudo and use -u instead of -e it works fine, so i changed the command in the file flashdisk_eject.desktop and now it's working for me.
