Has anyone had this problem? I grab a disk icon, throw it in the trash. System 7 comes back and asks me to reinsert the disk. The computer doesn't eject it until I throw it into the trash. The second time, it always goes. I've had this happen on two different machines (a IIx and a IIci). Also, sometimes if I throw away a disk above another disk, it erases the icon below. However, I think this has more to do with !DeskPict. Cheers, Eric -- J.

Yes, Sys7 has the ability to be very annoying with its disk requests; when it demands a disk back that I have just Cmd-E'd and I press Cmd-. to get rid of the message, it gets rid of the icon, telling me "blah cannot be used because it is not in any drive." Well, no shit it can't be accessed; but if I want to put something from another floppy onto it, it can be very annoying.

Yes, you'd think that the time for the Finder to write out whatever
trivial Desktop information it needs to write out would be when the
user asks it to eject the disk -- not after the disk has already been
ejected. After all, isn't that one reason why standard Apple floppy
drives don't have "Eject" buttons -- so that the Finder can have an
opportunity to keep Desktop info up to date?
Here's hoping that the System Software folks play around with floppies
a little more before 7.0.1 is released... :-)
