This applet is discontinued!! Since I'm now working directly on the KDE's Device Notifier I won't add any new feature to this one. I'll fix serious bugs, though.
This is an applet that lets you mount, umount, open your devices.
It has a capacity bar to show the free space, and avoids the ugly window that pops up when you open a device with more than one action in the standard Device Notifier.
It can show all the devices instead of the removable ones only and can do the automount.
I hope you like it!
WARNING! With KDE previous than 4.3 and dark plasma themes you won't be able to read the labels cause the font is dark too.

Only for removable devices, in ext2-3, fat16-32 using "mkfs" for example, and with confirmation dialog for the action for more safety.
Thank you for this excellent plasmoid.

the plasmoid doesn't care about low level things. it is all up to the libraries. i think you should look at solid.

Fam(old)=Gamin(new)
your plasmoid with fam = works
your plasmoid with Gamin = no works

I really love this thing, especially the automatic closing of the message window!
There are two users on my machine, for one of which the device manager works perfectly. The other user's desktop freezes completely when I try to add it to the control panel. I already checked file permission and made sure that both users are members in the same groups, but I had no luck till now.
Can you make any sense out of this?

This happened on an openSUSE 11.1 i586, and still happens after an update to 11.2.
I know know of at least one more person having the same problem on an openSUSE box.

I have to admit that I installed some other programs before I did this re-installation. It might very well be that some of the programs I installed brought some libs along that made the difference. (Although I would have expected "configure" to check dependencies before compiling the sources.)
Anyway: the device manager works perfectly now for all users on that system. :-)

i have only one small problem though.. it never shows me the free space the same way as on your screenshot.. i can see there only action that's available for device (instead of free space)
you can check what i mean on my screenshot: http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/2135/snapshot0kx.png
btw this is on kubuntu karmic 9.10 (and it was messed up on jaunty 9.04 too)
