No, nothing right now.

If it ONLY did it on a successful rip AND you enabled it as needed, I think it would be a good feature request!

Some of the batch tools here allow to start a file, like a batch with an eject command, when the queue is finished.

How do you go about using them

I will add my voice to the "YES" group.

Like most users, I load a disc, select the title(s), "Make MKV", "Eject."
Never have I selected an additional title to rip.
This option would eliminate two user actions: 1 - "OK" to the pop-up, "2 - Eject" button.

i get involved with other tasks on my computer and i forget all about it

Yup - all the time!

Additionally - got a real problem here - discs left idle after a rip hang the system and it has to be shut off to recover.

This optional feature would be a big time saver in both ways!!

Batch is not an option since it requires user eyes to select the title(s).

It could be added to Preferences->General->Miscellaneous as "Eject after saving" - default = Unchecked".
Transparent to current users - no change.

No, it doesn't.

I've used an Autoitscript compiled to an exe file which is called from the batch converter once the queue is done but I'm pretty sure you could use any scripting language like VBScript or something. My drive letter is O:

Code: Select all

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
CDTray("O:", $CDTRAY_OPEN)
Exit
