Clicking whit the right button in the root directory of any removable disc don't appears "volume" and "drive" menu

[eld1e6o]

When I go to "Equipo" (my computer) and open the "propiedades" (properties) window of any mounted removable volume, a menu very interesting appears: I can change the default mount-point of that media and of all the volumes inserted in his drive.
If I right click in the root directory of any mounted volume, and I open the "propiedades" (properties) window, the menu isn't the expected. The menu is the same but I haven't the mentioned options (the last two tabs aren't present) which must be the las two tabs, it's incomplete and have the option to share.

If I try clicking in the properties menu of any disc from "mi escritorio" (my desktop), the menu is the first again, which is the semi complete menu.

When I open the properties menu of any mounted volume clicking in his mount-point folder and selecting the submenu the incomplete menu appears (usually sited in the /media folder) but it's recognized as volume.

Some times, the complete menu is very hard to find

Summarizing, I have 3 types of properties menus: semi complete menu (also, this window haven't the "compartir" or share tab) [menu 1 image], incomplete menu of mounted volumes, it haven't the last two tabs [menu 2 image] (and it's in the most visited place and where the people normally must search this options) and the incomplete menu [menu 3 image](which is reasonable because the volume isn't mounted, it is as the last, but without the graph of used space)

Also, could be an interesting feature add the ability to open the properties menu from the side panel, where are the places of the system (I can unmount the volumes, I can't see the properties)

 This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

Hello Sebastien.

It's ever reproducible.
The difference between the windows appears:
window 1 (appears menu1.png, without the tab 'compartir' or share)- when I click in the properties of any volume sited in the computer (as example, running nautilus 'computer:///', clicking with the right button in any mounted volume and selecting properties menu) or doing the same in any volume mounted, but selecting from the desktop, where (if the configuration is ok, usually it's) are the mounted volumes

window 2 (appears menu2.png, without the tabs "abrir con" or open with, drive and volume)- when I click in the properties of the background, as example, running nautilus '/media/disk', (where /media/disk need to be any mounted volume), then right clicking and then clicking in the properties menu
window 3 (appears menu3.png)- when I try to see the properties of any unmounted volume

Greetings!

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

you are opening properties of different object, directories against devices, how is that a bug that those are different?

[eld1e6o (eld1e6o)]

I'm opening properties of the same object (a volume), but of different forms.
The system recognize it as different places but it knows I'm opening a volume and the options are of the volume (I have the option to unmount), the changes affects the volume, then, the menu must be the same. but, from inside (right clicking in the background, to select the properties of the volume) I have the option to unmount and share, but not to manage the drive and volume, and from computer (right clicking in the volume and then clicking in properties), I have the option to unmount and change volume name and drive, but not to share. Nautilus should use as the same because it's

The only difference is from where I'm opening it

[eld1e6o (eld1e6o)]

The important images are the first and the second, the third is normal (I was wrong and taked a screenshot of another drive in the third, but the only one difference is where it displays 131,1 MiB should say 3,9 GiB, this data is irrelevant)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

you are opening the properties of a volume in the computer location in one case and the properties of the directory where the volume is mounted in the other case, those are represented differently in nautilus, they have different icons and they are different objects, that really doesn't seem to be a bug

[eld1e6o (eld1e6o)]

Hello again Sebastien, sorry for the time, I was busy, I'm updating

Yes, the properties aren't the same, but it should be the same, it's confusing

1 - I'm opening the properties of a folder, but I can unmount it (unmounting a folder I can unmount a volume? from the inside, from the outside, and from the volume)
2 - How can I share a volume, sharing a folder? And if it's, why the volume haven't the option to share, but the same folder yes?
3 - If I'm root, how can I do the same work? (the "computer" location is disabled for any users, as root)

In any cases, his behavior is as folder, in any cases have features of the folder and of volume, and in other cases his behavior is as volume. It must be the same, and not searching the location where the behavior is as I need. And the computer isn't very popular, and this location is very complicated to find (even, I think it's important for new users, and it could be considered as 'one hundred per cuts', but it's my idea :S)

Sory if my explanation isn't very good, my native language is Spanish (I'm from Argentina)

Greetings!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of Nautilus is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back? Thanks in advance.
