Since finding Ejector, I find it hard to imagine how I ever lived without it.

This version still does its thing on iPods (my major use of the app), removable media, haven't had a chance to try it on my camera, but amusingly it didn't eject its own .dmg. I assumed it would have issues with other .dmgs so mounted a different one, but it ejected with no problems.

Besides this insignificant flaw, Ejector remains essential software.

Oh, as for "The Impractical", I raised an eyebrow after installing the new version and seeing my machine's internal hard drive's two partitions (including the one it starts up from) in the Ejector menu. Nervously, I tried to eject the partition my system is stored on and breathed a sigh of relief when nothing happened. I'm wondering why it shows up as if it can be ejected though...

Ejecting The Impractical? [correction] - Liam Doughty

Turns out I was running Ejector from the image in the situation described, and was thus obviously unejectable. Sorry. ;)

Not too keen on the way hard drives and partitions (besides the boot volume) are ejected when ejecting all, but besides this, it's excellent software.

I'd love to have a huge array of cd and dvd drives to eject all at the same time. :)
