  About Ejecter
A simple menu that sits in the system notification area, providing you a quick way to unmount external peripherals such as usb pendrives, cd/dvd, external hard disks and so.
 
Ejecter is a little tool which makes it possible to unmount external devices and eject cd-roms without having to right-click on device icon either on the desktop or in nautilus.
It sits in background and shows an icon in the system tray when one or more peripherals are connected to your pc: once clicked it a window appears with the list of the devices (volume name and device type, much clearer than the similar thing available on Windows) and the related eject button.

Being written in Vala, it is translated into C code and then compiled: this means that it's lightweight and consumes little memory, does not require a full vm like Python neither has strange requirements to run (just GLib/Gtk).
 
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.14+. Other dependencies include:
libgdu (from gnome-disk-utility) While installing you'll need python, vala 0.7, gtk >= 2.14 with dev packages (if any), libgdu and libgdu-gtk dev packages.
 
  Latest Version: 0.3.1
Quick release after 0.3.0: added icons matching Humanity (Ubuntu Karmic icon theme) look. Also fixed translator credits to make links work.
Like 0.3.0 won't probably build on Jaunty, as it is developed on Ubuntu Karmic (9.10), currently in beta stage. Feedback from other distros is appreciated.
