Eject a stubborn .dmg

I’ve run into the odd time that Finder will refuse to eject a .dmg file. I found that you can force an eject using the terminal using the following command:

hdiutil detach ImageName

For the ImageName part, it’s easy enough to type the first letter and then hit tab to auto-complete the dmg name.

    Cool. Any way to add this as an action in Quicksilver?

    Of course you can do this with quicksilver. You just enable the plugin that allows you to execute terminal commands. once you have done that you can assign the action to a hotkey. enjoy.
