[Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Frame Device icon Volumes

[Gonzalo Odiard]

There are a convention about the position of the primary action?
Should be the closest to the button or the first at top of the palette?
I think is important have this defined, and may be show it in a special way.
In this particular case, the option is between the label, another action and
the widget showing the size, and is not obvious.
