Removable (USB) drive tab

When a removable drive is inserted, a new drive letter is typically assigned. If the drive icon is clicked, a new tab is opened. If the removable drive is removed, the tab stays open. If the tab for that drive is clicked, the "Drive Not Found" modal dialog box is displayed. This necessitates responding to the dialog box.

It would seem that a smoother operation would be for the program to close any tabs relating to a drive that is removed or ejected.

Interestiong idea, but...
At first check your config:   configuration -> operation -> refresh -> "no refresh for these drives" (both fields - upper and lower)

Oh please don't, all the tabs I have open to my most used dirs on my removable hard drive would be lost!

I think it would be better to add an option to switch dir to e.g. C:\ w/o showing drive select dialog, or simply show empty panel (maybe one parameter with different modes). I would prefer second one (show just blank panel).
