For MacOS users who find themselves in need of executing multiple commands in the terminal but occasionally forget to do so, which can be inconvenient and require removing the card and rebooting, this script eliminates all the hassle and performs all the necessary tasks for you.
Features
- Disable and remove Spotlight indexing.
- Remove dot files.
- Remove dot underbar files.
- Remove fsevents traces.
- Fix flags on all sdcard directories except Nintendo and Emutendo dir (as it might mess up installation files and cause corruption on installed titles/tickets).
- Optionally ejects the sdcard when finished.
Installation
Drop it in your favorite directory.
It is suggested using /usr/local/bin as it will be in system path automatically.
User guide
After you finish all your operations in your card, run it either by double clicking or via terminal (prior to ejecting). First run will ask for your volume name. Your sdcard label, basically. After this, it will remember it and will be able to find it.
If you need to reset this setting because you changed the label, either delete the .switch-eject.conf file that will be created in your HOME dir or run the script via terminal using the -c flag.
You can also use the -e flag via terminal for auto-eject when finished. If you want the script to always perform the auto-eject, change "line 71" from [ ! -z "${e}" ] && echo "Ejecting ${VOL}" && sudo umount ${VOL} to echo "Ejecting ${VOL}" && sudo umount ${VOL}
