Eject button in the left pane of Thunar can be partly hidden by the scrollbar.
In the MX-19 Betas I found a very tiny problem related to the eject button in the left pane of Thunar, for ejecting external media, like USB-stick, SD-card,etc.
When the scrollbar in the left pane is active, then it is hard to click the eject button, because the bigger part of the button will be hidden by the scrollbar.
When Thunar is stretched in vertical direction, to eliminate the scrollbar, then the eject button is very well accessible.
This button was absent in MX-18, but you could eject external media using the right mouse button, which can be done this way of course also in MX-19.

Re: MX-19 Beta 3 Feedback
After some time Thunar stops showing attached disks in the left panel, but they are still mounted in "media' and can be browsed, but not ejected / power off from right panel.
However, after I start opening files from "media" panel - MX wakes and Thunar displays the ssd's in the left panel again:

This is what partitions should look like in Gparted after successful install of 19b2.1 with "auto partition using entire disk" on X1 g5 500gb NMVe (notice correct flags, mount points and labels):

This is what Live USB creator does WRONG in 19b3 (sorry I didn't save the minstall.log on that iteration:

Re: MX-19 Beta 3 Feedback
What's wrong about that?
Re: MX-19 Beta 3 Feedback
Live USB Maker (LUM) is well documented. Under advanced options you can select GPT partitioning if that's what you need. It's the same in MX-18. It didn't do anything wrong, it did what you told it to do (or, rather, it defaulted to what you didn't tell it to do differently if you understand me.)

oops, nm, I didn't notice that you had selected GPT in advanced options already.

I asked it for GPT but it used msdos partition table (see the red arrow on the s/shot
Re: MX-19 Beta 3 Feedback
Suggestion: try creating a new partition table on the USB stick, either gpt or msdos, which should wipe everything from it, then run LUM again and see if it creates a gpt table this time. I've had instanced where, if I reused a USB stick that had one of the MX-19 betas burned to it and I tried to burn an MX-18 ISO to it, or vice-versa, it wouldn't work unless I completely wiped the USB in gparted first.

Re: MX-19 Beta 3 Feedback
This won't help. Live-usb-maker actually wipes the partition table better than gparted does. If you are having trouble with a device behaving properly in gparted then you can try the clear-partition feature of live-usb-maker.JayM wrote: Tue Oct 08, 2019 11:56 pm Suggestion: try creating a new partition table on the USB stick, either gpt or msdos, which should wipe everything from it, then run LUM again and see if it creates a gpt table this time.

Also, since we wipe out the partition table and start afresh, it doesn't matter what partitioning is originally on the device.
I just used the command line tool live-usb-maker using the --gpt flag and it uses gpt partitioning so I think this is just a minor bug in the gui wrapper.
Thanks for catching it bpr323!

Looks like you already know about this issue. It's intermittent and can be fixed by someone who expects it can happen and watches the LUM job progress.
Can't wait to get my hands on 19b3.1 with installation fixes
