Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
I find it pretty confusing that the context menu of (removable or non-removable) media is so short, as compared to what you get when right-clicking the same drive after a click on the 'Computer' toolbar icon.
Especially from removable media (USB-Sticks, SD-Cards...) I want to right-click the places bar to select "Properties", in order to learn about the remaining disk space on the drive, which is very useful when drag-dropping files and folders into a drive listed in the places side bar.
Of course, I don't want to navigate away from my current folder (because I might have files selected, or the view scrolled down by a specific amount...), neither would I want to open a new window (from the side-bar list's drive's context menu), then right-click into this new window again and select 'Properties' from there...
For me, this is mostly about disk-space, but I'm sure there is a lot more cases when people would need a not-so-crippled context menu in the places list.
