Quick install trick for drag-and-drop apps on disk images
Authored by: vdubya on Jul 18, '03 10:34:16PM

You can also put the 'EJECT' icon in your toolbar. When the 'drag.app' has finished copying to your Applications folder, just click once inside the disk image window (to select the entire image and not a nested folder or app) and then click the 'EJECT' icon. Not only will this unmount the image, but it will close the window as well!

Of course if you want to use the new app immediately you will have to navigate back to the Applications folder.

Quick install trick for drag-and-drop apps on disk images

Another method to eject:
When the 'drag.app' has finished copying to your Applications folder, just Control left mouse button click or right mouse button click inside the background area of the disk-image window (not on an icon) to bring up a contextual menu for that root level of the drive image that includes the Eject menu option. The Eject menu option does not appear in lower subdirectory levels of that drive image but does also appear after right clicking on the drive-image icon before displaying its contents.
