Thanks, guys--

That's getting me onto the right track.

I have several disks daisy-chained into my FireWire port when my laptop is on my desk (TimeMachine's for one).  I want to eject only the one named "Orange Clone" whenever it appears.  Usually, I remember to eject and unplug it when I'm done with it.  The problem comes up when I forget to unplug it.  Then, the next time I take my laptop away and bring it back, it shows up with the rest.

That's why I'm thinking maybe a folder-action to eject it whenever it shows up.  Then I'd need another procedure to actually mount it when I really want to use it.

And Phil-- Thanks for giving us access to your FastTasks 2.  It looks very interesting.  I'm still on 10.6, but its days are growing shorter.

For different reasons (I used a thunderbolt hub with a couple of HDDs plugged in to it), I’ve built an app that sits at the top of my dock that does a single line of code:

tell application "Finder" to eject (every disk whose ejectable is true)


Like Paul, I also use that one liner. 

There's a couple of ways you can deploy it: add it to FastScripts and give it a shortcut (if you use that app), or make an automator Service out of it and likewise give it a shortcut.

I rolled that and a number of other handy one-liners into a menu/status bar app of my own a couple of months back, which you and anyone else is welcome to check out and download (it's free, and it ain't got no ads neither), from here:
