JSTRAIT First off I'm using this to solve the simplification of a task that I used to have with my PC (recently moved to mac.)

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. (Version 1.2.4)

ANONYMOUS Sloppy Programming!

- 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. (Version 1.2.4)
