Problem with disk eject action

[frdfsnlght]

I want to use the disk eject action. The "file" setting is supposed to contain the drive letter to eject. Apparently, you can not use a variable in that field, like "[DriveLetter]", but must use a literal string like "D".

Is this intentional, or just an oversight in the code? Or am I doing something wrong?

Or is there a better way to eject a drive based on a drive letter stored in a variable? I'd like to do this using Girder alone rather than an extra proggy as a helper, unless there's a command built into Windows?

I've searched the forums and haven't found anything better. Can anyone help?

Eventhough you are right, that it would be nice if every field could be used with a variable, I would suggest a simple workaround:

Make one group with an eject-command for every possible drive and assign a girder-event with a common naming scheme to them. For example "eject_D", "eject_E" and so on. Now you can simply use TriggerEvent to get the right drive:

TriggerEvent("eject_" .. DriveLetter)

or to make it more failproof:

TriggerEvent("eject_" .. strupper(DriveLetter))
