How is the keyboard command so many fewer clicks and less time????? While the keyboard shortcut (cmd+e) is quick and easy, you are forgetting the other steps involved... 1a. get to the desktop -press F11, or mouse to the desktop 1b. get to a finder window -select the finder icon in the dock 2. select the item you want to eject ...now.... 3. go back to the keyboard and press cmd+e OR 1. go to the menu bar with mouse 2. select icon within ejector menu using mouse 3. eject the drive Either option could be faster than the other depending on your situation.

Many thanx to the developer. This little app adds the much needed ability to eject all external devices in one shot. You can do it via terminal, but ejecting via a hotkey is a great solution. Now I can quickly eject all external devices before sleeping my machine to take on the road. Thanx

I like it. If you don't want to have your desktop cluttered with external drives, mounted volumes, USB Sticks etc. but still need some place other than the Finder to get an overview and to easily eject them, this is the app. I really like that mounted disk volumes are separated from drives by a thin line. And that they are order by their disk/partition number, not alphabetically. Very nice! Plus it seems to work fine with Lion (unlike Semulov at this time). But I have a small wishlist: #1 Could you please add an option to have the total number of mounted volumes/drives shown right next to the menu bar icon (like in Semulov). That would be so helpful! That's my biggest wish. #2 And if you have time, I'd also appreciate an option to switch to bigger icons (like in Volumizer). Thank you.

If Command + E is too much for you, just add OS X's built-in Eject menubar widget to the menubar - it's located in "System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/" then just double click the Eject.menu to have it permanently live in the menu bar. There's a whole bunch of menubar widgets in that folder, you should take a look at them.

Actually Snow Leopard 10.62 has broken the function keys such as Sound / Eject buttons so this little app is a God-send!

If you want to take a simple operation with a simple and easy to remember keyboard shortcut (Command-E (Eject)) and turn it into a time consuming operation with many mouse movements and clicks, and, adds yet another icon to your menu bar then this is your type of app. My advice - learn the keyboard shortcuts that are built into the OS before installing software that duplicates existing functionality.

Under Tiger, I have had to try to eject twice before it works. No such problem under Panther. Otherwise, very convenient little program.

Excellent. A godsend as an easy way to eject all those pesky disk images when I go on a downloading spree, or a quick way to "pop out" my iPod when I want to unhook it, rather than have to find where the computer hid it on my messy desktop, or wait for iTunes to (eventually) eject it.

Ejector 0.7.1 now works with Jaguar! At least, it works fine on my 10.2.8 . The developer showed great tenacity and successfully bridged the gap b/w Jaguar & Panther. He replied promptly to all my feedback. Outstanding!!! Thanks!

0.71 fixes the sloppy icon and provides new, round icon for the menu bar too..thanks! one note, however, is that the eject sign within the circle of the large icon appears w/o fill (and not white-filled), such that it assumes the color of the window backgound

icon has a white halo and is very sloppy. also, it would be better if the rond icon alsi were used for the menu extra

Um, nope. 0.7 doesn't merge Panther & Jaguar, at least, not for me with 10.28 . It quits on launch. Anyone else? Oh well, back to 0.6 for 10.2 . The 0.6 version, does work great on my platform, though.

I tried to install it, and the app wouldn't open, but I couldn't eliminate the disc image, the message "couldn't be moved to trash, the application is open" appeared all the time.

I'm running OS X 10.2.8 and whenever i open ejector the icon does appear but then seconds later it dissappears... I'm not sure why this happens.

Works quickly and well, and saves a couple steps when ejecting an iPod as promised. It's nice to always have it available in the menubar.
