Option to close/reopen application that is using a given drive that you need to unmount #51

This is a feature request.

I have one external drive that is used by Nextcloud client when it is plugged in to sync files from it to a remote cloud.

When I want to unmount this drive, I have to manually close Nextcloud client beforehand, and then open it again.

It would be great if Ejectify had an option to when unmounting a given drive, close and open a given application specified by the user that is using the drive.

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I think this request goes a bit beyond the intention of Ejectify, but I'll leave it open for now to see if others have similar requests. Having said this, have you checked on automating this using Shortcuts?

Yea, I played around with automator too.

For some reason Nextcloud doesn’t like to play with Automator / Shortcuts. Causes the process to fail. No one on Apple forums could really help with this. It’s a mystery.

Thanks anyhow!
