I have found a fix for the problem, but not yet an explanation.
Modify the ejectImageDisk handler like this ...
on ejectImageDisk(mountPoint)
tell application "Finder"
do shell script "hdiutil detach " & mountPoint & " -force"
end tell
end ejectImageDisk ----------------------------
I now get instant ejection. Every time. But why do I need to tell
Finder?
I've never had to enclose 'do shell script ...' in any kind of tell
block.
Something strange is happening here that needs explaining.
And I've just noticed something else that may be related. I have a
script that uses 'drutil' to eject optical media from a drive. When I
used it this morning, I noticed a long delay until the disk ejected.
I got much better response after I modified the script like this ...
tell application "Finder"
do shell script "drutil -drive " & brnNr & " eject"
end tell
