Keith, auto-[un]mounting is most-commonly handled by some part of your
operating environment. If that's not so in your case, then you can build
emelFM2 with support for auto-[un]mounting by HAL (though HAL is deprecated) or
by udisks. In either case, if a mountable device is not [un]mounted by your
system within about 10 seconds of detection, then it will be [un]mounted by
emelFM2.
You need to build the application with this support. Specifically, you will
need to include a make option:
WITH_HAL=1
OR
WITH_DEVKIT=1
and have the requisite development infrastructure available. See the comments
in file Makefile.config
The [un]mountable devices menu is constructed on-the-fly, from system
information available at the time.
