Successfully ejected storage device popup should not be modal

[JS3910]

Version

2.2.0+ release version.

Operating system type + version

Mac OS 10.15.6

Behavior

When unmounting a storage device with the eject button in the lower right corner, a succesful unmount pops up a modal dialog. This popup is almost identical to the error message that appears when unmounting fails.

Message box when ejecting is successful

Essentially identical message when unmounting fails

Remember, a modal dialog should only be used when the system absolutely cannot continue to function, or would not function in a desirable way without user interaction. The desired behavior in this case would be for the software to not block user input and wait for a dialog dismissal when the requested action is performed succesfully. More acceptable solutions can include some or all of:

• Small non-modal balloon popup in the bottom right corner where you just clicked, acknowledging success
• Eject button getting grayed out
• Eject button getting hidden
• (not ideal) same popup as now but clicking anywhere on the screen dismisses it

Is this a new feature request?
Low-hanging fruit improvement.

This is already solved in current master, the dialog was replaced by non-modal notification similar to the one I posted in #4606 (comment). The 2.3.0-alpha1 release should be out in a week, you can have a look.

I'm closing the issue. If you're unhappy with the solution in the alpha, let us know.
