I used to be able to shove my CF card in the reader (a convenient window would open - wish I could get that back too as I've optioned not to show my drives on my desktop, I've got lots of them and don't want the clutter.) After copying the files I'd delete them from the CF card and yank it out of the reader. Didn't have to empty the trash or eject it, very simple and quick.
So basically I want to combine the delete, empty trash and eject into one button, keystroke or icon.
This may sound quite trivial but if you're doing it constantly it can be quite annoying. I also don't like completely emptying the trash all the time in case I might need to recover something.
This product came close to doing this, it basically did everything it said. Well done! I was even able to drag the application icon to the finder window so it's always handy.
Now if it just did two other simple things it would be perfect. 1. Delete files that are dragged into it from removable drives (not send them to the trash or create a trashes file.) 2. Close it's window once complete. Also if possible create the option to always eject removable drives once cleaned.
That would be perfect.

Here's the script if anyones interested (just below text into script editor and save as an application.) (script is between the lines)
----------------------
on open inFiles
set theFirstFile to item 1 of inFiles
tell application "Finder" to set theVolume to the disk of theFirstFile
repeat with theFile in inFiles
set thePath to POSIX path of theFile
set theCommand to "rm -r " & quoted form of thePath
set theResult to do shell script theCommand
end repeat
tell application "Finder" to eject theVolume
end open

- First of all, the requirements for this shouldn't be limitted to one OS X flavour, it's such a simple task that any Mac OS X could easily handle!!!
- Second, why in God's name was this compressed, you saved 190 BYTES and wasted time doing nothing virtualy! An Apple Disk Image contains only a data fork which is 'net friendly. I used DropDMG (2.74) and ended up with 120k file instead of 140!
Great idea for anyone that burn's non-Mac discs like DVD movies or Audio CD's and the rest.

If you don't understand what this is for, or don't know why someone would use it - don't download it. At the very least, please keep unproductive opinions to yourself. It clutters up the reviews with unnecessary garbage. This application does what it is supposed to do, and there are people like me who appreciate it, and use it.

PC users are used to seeing random files all over the place, and even if one happens not to, i think they can deal with it. I mean, GUI front-ends for terminal commands are great, but I really don't understand all the flaming going on in these comments.

Is there anyone going to the dentist's to have some teeth pulled out when there is is nothing wrong with his teeth?

So here's the score (since I have devices that choke on .DS_Store files and metadata ones):
In order of things that cause problems:
1) .DS_Store
2) ._filename
Then the things that could be nice
3) Thumbnails/Previews. A lot of things won't use the embedded thumbnails or previews so you can reduce 20 megs of files to about 16 megs just stripping these q/ quickimage or something like that.
Sure, I fix the problem causers in the terminal; but that doesn't mean I like wasting my time doing it. This a useful application and it's not based on paranoia, but messages like 'the movie could not be deleted' on a psp or whatever.

So, everytime I copy files to my PSP or mobile phone and the Mac OS copies loads of additional hidden files my PSP and mobile phone don't need, or understand, you think I should fire up the Terminal app, type in a bunch of geek-code I don't understand (risking making a mistake and doing something dangerous) instead of just double-clicking this apps icon and clicking "Clean Now"?
Two clicks versus multiple clicks and typing multiple characters into the potentially dangerous Terminal?
Sounds like some people just like making life hard for themselves. Perhaps you'd be better off using Windows and DOS!! Geeks!
