http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread.php?t=28405

So sorry to leave you guys with an unfinished product, had loads of paying work to do that came in the way of me finishing this idea. Well I was browsing aqua-soft for the first time in ages and realised I hadnt finished it. So I sat down and programmed it the way it should have been done.

So I present to you, the (hopefully) final beta of iJect.

Feel free to leave any comments and bugs, if it runs smoothly I will release asap!

:cool:

what does this do? is this an eject thing? i have no idea.

#315374

Yes, I'd like to know what it does before I run it.

#315375

I've just tried it,

it shows up in the system tray,

you right click it, select a drive,

it ejects it and shows a bezel.

#315377

In the readme:

"Just a simple program i have mocked up to replicate the Mac Eject system.

I am using it with Object Bar, in which i have an Eject button..

i would suggest you also using it there."

Hehe, I have the older version of this program--I was about to tell you that you shouldn't name your program iJect because there was one already like it--then I realized you wrote the original program!

Well, you could always check back to the old iJect post, but il explain. I was playing with my mac at college and realised that it had a great eject system. When you eject a splash screen comes up when you eject and bring in the tray. This is for those who want it emulated on PC.

#315381

Thank you

#315386

Any bugs to report or features you guy would want?

#315388

assignable hotkeys!!

oops, where are my manners...this is great, thx!

#315389

hotkeys are possible, but the Eject key on the mac keyboard has no ascii value on a PC, therefore making it impossible to use that, i suppose i could use any other key for the hotkey... if i get enough people aking for it )

#315392

Adding hotkey functionality would be nice..

Thank you..

The app is great

#315402

Ok, i stayed up till 6 in the morning working these damn hotkeys. I found the most functional way to do it was have the draw close itself after a certain amount of time. This beta does not have any options or config for the hotkeys, but will in final release. The hotkeys work as follows

F12 - Primary CD Drive

F11 - Secondary CD Drive

F10 - .... ect..

This beta will only eject computer with maximum 5 Disc drives, although im not expecting many people to have more than that.

Hopefully this will work and il be happy... if not... let me know..

i have noticed one bug, and would like to write it to save everyone else the effort,

even if you dont have 5 drives and you press the F buttons, the splash screen shows.... this will be sorted tomorrow

#315415

hmm very nice idea....about time...

I agree you need to assign a button on the keyboard to eject the drive(s) ...

I suggest you make it customisable so that you can choose which key you want to eject what...

But still, very nice, am considering using it as is.

#315421

little bug:

when it's quited(right click in systray=>quit)

the procesus iject.exe still alive

good program indeed

#315438

Yes the process still runs after you quit. but I like it because I don't like my systray fille dup stih stuff. So if there is a way as like and option somewhere; where you can disable the systray icon and still have it run (like the bug now), would be nice. Cuz all you have to do is worry about pushing a hotkey without any clutter on your tray.

Sorry if this is confusing.

#315444

OK, so features i should add are

* Kill process on Exit

* Variables for all Hotkeys and maybe tray closing time?

* Choice for if tray shows or not

* Maybe i will try and work something out for customization, but that will probably be next release

#315458

Works for me..

That would be nice...

I thank you for your program in advance..

#315459

Is it possible to eject other devices such as USB pens or does it only eject CD/DVD drives?

#315463

Is it possible to eject other devices such as USB pens or does it only eject CD/DVD drives?

You could just pull out the USB pendrives... what for would you like to eject? and how will it be ejected?

Maybe your referrring to USB Drives...

Correct me if i'm wrong...

Thanx

#315464

What he might mean is, can you go ahead and stop the USB pendrive device, so you can safely pull it out.

#315467

Okay... But i dont understand why you would want to do that when you could just directly pull it out...

It doesnt do anything to your pendrive...

I've been doing it for the past 2 years...

Oh well.. .

#315472

Thanks for listening to all of our suggestions. Can't wait till you release next!

/teh

#315476

yeah, I just pull mine out too, and as long as I wasn't moving a file or something, it didn't matter, but some people do have problems with theirs if they don't "safely remove hardware" or whatever

#315477

It is actually possible to eject USB devices, but i dont think it is a particularly needed feature.
