If that is what is on the desktop going to File does not have an option to eject it. You can close the window, like any other window > > Again, one does *not* "eject" the .dmg file! It is just a file. One ejects > the *virtual disk*. True. Since you are referring is a window on the desktop of of an open .dmg. If it is the icon for a .dmg, which is not usually on the desktop, you can eject it if it is open. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
