Unmounting removable drives in Wine

Post by g.jimmy »

Hi, is there any way to unmount removable drives in 1.1.14? I'm using Epson Easy Photo Print to print pictures from various folders and drives. If I want to unmount a drive I have to close the program, unmount, then open it again. Thanks.

Hi, that worked for CDs, how do I eject flash drives? Thanks.
I got an error saying something like "not a CD/DVD drive or not mounted".

Wine doesn't work with those directly. So you need to do it in your system.

Any chance of having that feature added? Or is it possible for me to add it in? Currently I have to close the program, unmount, then open the program every time I want to unmount a flash drive. I accept flash drives from people to have their pictures printed so this would help me a lot.

File a bug report in Wine bugzilla. Shouldn't be hard to it in.

OK, I've seen the "BUG" is posted before.

Is there no way to call LINUX API's in a Windows application?
