DONE: Eject!

(1/4) > >>

jgpaiva:
I created this script because it has happened to me lots of times forgetting a cd (dvd) inside the computer after shuting it down.
It's really anoying to have to be always turning the computer on again to get that cd.

But fear not, Eject! comes in salvation of those who suffer from the same bad as I do.
This script opens the cd tray right before shutdown if there is any cd inside!

I didn't make it open all cd trays because some people might have virtual drives, and that might have strange behaviours.
But on it's first run, it creates a ini file that can be edited to contain all the drives you want.
The attached compressed file has the executable, the ahk source and the example ini file.
Hope you like it.

(note: this script can easily be added to other ahk scripts you have running.)

.exe version: http://jgpaiva.dcmembers.com/CS/Eject/Eject.exe
.ahk version: http://jgpaiva.dcmembers.com/CS/eject/Eject.exe

nudone:
nice.

what about a script that eject/retracts the cd-tray on demand? it will be useful to some of us...

I'm using AbsoluteControl for that task (I run it just when I need it, since I need it less than once a week):

This tool makes a wide range of OS control tools available with a single click. It can set your screen resolution to the highest possible refresh rate, open and close your CD drives, reboot, shutdown, power off, hibernate and send your system to standby mode.
A Web-search is available with a single click.
