attempting to create a relatively simple app that;
1] detects and lists all ejectable media devices in the system in a system-wide pulldown menu
2] allows the user to select a specific drive and either open the tray [if empty] or eject the currently inserted media.
3] does not show up in the dock. either a pref pane will work or just some way to keep a nsstatusbar visible but remove the icon from the dock.
1,2-notes] have this partially implemented using the disk recording framework. only downside is that is only reconizes cd/dvd writable drives [ie; ram, rw, r] currently creates an nsstatusbar but needs to be initially created via a button [from then on it automatically updates itself everytime the user selects a device].
fairly new to cocoa so any links to tutorials, tips, etc will be appreciated
--note; excuse my lack of proper punctuation or caps in many places, seem my keyboard has decided to spontaneously kill keys, namely both my shift keys and my keypad
