Automatically close and then open applications. #23

Closed sohate closed 2 years ago

sohate commented 3 years ago

Automatically close and then open applications that prevent you from unmount an external hdd. Now, if certain applications work with an external hdd, then nothing happens. You have force unmount but it's unsafe. Can you add an option to let the user choose an application that should be auto-close and auto-open? Thanks!

Thanks. I definitely understand and see its potential, but consider this out of scope for the moment.

Damn! I bought it already, but now it’s useless :( Still, thanks for good app.

The thing is, I expect some issues with this feature. When a volume fails to unmount, it's likely because an app is using it. Stopping that app won't always help as that app will likely delay quitting in order to finalize its file process. Force quitting that app might corrupt (app) data and that's also what you don't want. Effectively what you're asking for is already possible with Ejectify. Enable _Force _unmount__ and it will unmount volumes even when apps are using those volumes. No need to quit the apps I expect.

Totally agree with that! But I’m afraid that unsafe eject corrupt my external hdd (not just files).

Closing this issue as I consider this out-of-scope for Ejectify.
