Just ejecting my disks before going bed and came across this one!

Hopefully it'd be pretty easy to implement.

I thought there used to be an issue up here about the proxy objects "Mounted Disks" & "Removable Disks" not working with the eject action. I was just looking for it & couldn't find it but it looks like this is what you're after with this issue? Although I can imagine situations whereby you may want to use the comma trick to eject just 2/3 removable disks say. I know for me this hasn't worked for ages, it didn't even work with B54 under 10.6 & has never worked for any other version of Quicksilver in 10.6 or 10.7.
It states in Howard's manual that it should be possible to set a trigger for "Mounted Disks ⇨ Eject" but when I have "Mounted Disks" selected in the first pane I can't get "Eject" to appear in the second pane. I did try selecting one of the separate disks then tabbed right, brought up "eject" in the second pane then "⌘-C"'d it and pasted that into the Action pane with both Mounted & Removable disks in the first pane. It registered the "Eject" action but just made the "thunk" no go sound when I hit return.
There's quite a few Applescripts I found online but they all had one problem or another. Ideally the action would be accompanied by a growl alert to let us know the disks have been safely ejected.
In the end, as with issue 210 I ended up downloading a separate application to do the job, in this case Ejector which sits in the menubar.

The 'mounted disks' proxy contains all mounted disks (including Macintosh HD) which is why you can't eject this proxy.
See #495 for an issue I've opened on simplifying the proxies, and hopefully it'll let you do this.

Pull #494 fixes this ;)
