Volume Disconnect

[Sivakatirswami]

platform: OSX....

This is an old problem, even from way back to SuperCard days...

I do a lot of work on the LAN where source docs are on our OSX  
Server. As well as internal RAD in house production apps use by  
others on the LAN. Let's say I run a button script that accesses a  
mounted volume on the server named "Varuna" (Lord of the Waters)

set the defaultFolder to "/Volumes/Varuna/DigitalPhotos/thomas_kelly/ 
05_sri_lanka_documentary/"
put the files into "photoList"

Then, run any number of processes on those file, preview images,  
delete files etc. , close the stack (defaulted to destroy on close)  
now select mounted volume "Varuna" on the desktop and try to eject or  
unmount... the old nuisance msg appears:

"Varuna is in use and could not be ejected. Try quitting applications  
and try again."

So, quit Revolution, then eject... dismount, no problem.

Now I know this is not Rev specific because there are other  
applications, which, having once accessed the server for any I/O will  
hold it hostage, whether any documents for that app are open or not.  
I'm just wondering if Rev had a way to "cut the cord" with some cmd?  
Note, I might not want to actually dismount just yet... but one would  
want that "on closeStack" we could issue something that would at  
least make sure that Rev was not the app "chained" to the mounted  
volume.

TIA
