Purge Disk Images — Find, Unmount, and Trash DMGs

[vitor]

Usage

See mounted disk images via the dmgeject keyword. ↩ to eject it and trash the DMG.

Find DMG files via the dmgtrash keyword. ↩ to trash the DMG.

In both cases, Alfred’s list refreshes if more results remain after trashing one or hides when trashing the last one.

⤓ Install on the Alfred Gallery | Source

any change to have an option to eject all the dmg images at once?

[vitor]

The standard ejectall already does that. By design, the workflow refreshes the list if more results remain after trashing one or hides when trashing the last one, so you can keep pressing ↩.

Thanks but my issue is that I also have removable drives, and I don’t want to eject those along with the DMGs. Is there a way to do that?

What’s the use case where you frequently have multiple mounted DMGs that you need to eject without verification? I aim to understand the motivation for a feature request before deciding on implementation.

You can exclude what you wish to exclude. Go to Alfred Preferences → Features → System, look under Eject All: and choose what you wish to exclude.

Sometime I have a few DMGs open after installing different apps. Nothing fancy, just convenient to eject them all altogether:)

It won’t work because if I add the removable drives to that list, I won’t be able to find them when I want to eject them later.
