closing, that should be discussed upstream if you stillc are about it
but since the action is non destructive/trigger a confirmation dialog it
doesn't seem an important issue

Title:
nautilus context menu for devices
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
When mounting an external device, Nautilus 3.10.1 would provide a
context menu on that device where the last entry would be
"Properties"
(Above: Safely Remove | Remove)
So, to figure out the remaining disk space, one could easily draw down
to the last entry and get the drive properties.
In 3.14.2 this behaviour changed significantly (and to my
understanding, dangerously):
The last entry in the context menu now is:
Format ...
(Above being the Properties and above that the remove item).
A careless slip of hand and one is just one step away from loosing
data.
While having the format menu item there might be arguable, I strongly
recommend changing the position to higher up.
Reasoning: It takes less concentration to find the fist and last menu
item than it does to select one in the middle (one has to search for
it). In revers, this implies that the last menu item is a "learned
behaviour".
I would consider this a security risk (thus the marking at the end)
and would appreciate the developers follow my argument and change
this.
Thanks
