Package: kdebase-kio-plugins Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-5 Followup-For: Bug #252571
I see there's a work around for this issue. I'm following up on it, as it still takes me by suprise this is normal behaivor. (eg, principle of least suprise). When I plugin my usb flash stick, I commonly get a prompt asking what I would like to do with it. Most times I open it, because I want it mounted, and I'm prepared to print off a pdf file to save there. I don't think so much the problem is with what steps follow, but apparently after some files are opened, saved, printed to, what have you, they're still left open by processes that were presumed closed. I think what ever requests the umount/detach/eject work flow, should tell other programs to release those busy filehandles if they're not in use any more.
