ESP Mounter Pro 1.6

that's great

the code: C or C++?

obj-c

obj-c

too strong

using swift should be better, but only newer OS support it 

great job, as always!

Hi, Micky, doesn't work (only) with my external HD.

Pandora (Ares or Zeus) can found it?

Yes, both, but can't mount the ESP

Looks great Mickey, just going to install, and try it. :cheers:

great thanks, works very good!

Thank you Mickey

Very fast mounting and unmounting compared to Clover configurator and of course, it loads on start up; such a useful tool!

Thanks Guys, I have an update almost ready without the need of installing the helper tool. Just no time to debug it... Will comes as soon as I have time for it.....

This is surely much smarter than my little script, but one advantage of a script application is that everyone could view and change the "code" (show package contents then open Script in Contents/Ressources/Scripts. For me this does the Job ...

This one use Diskarbitration framenwork, even if we want, we cannot modify it since is a static library bundeled with OSX. So I expected that in newer or older OSes disks are treated in the correct way without users iteraction. BTW the code done by me is a portable framenwork (coming from Pandora's Box since last year) that handle all Diskarbitration's functions like for example diskutil does:

 

diskutil use Diskarbitration (and also mount is another program)

EFI Mounter Pro use Diskarbitration 

EFI Mounter Pro does not need diskutil or mount

EFI Mounter Pro is a program that do what diskutil and mount does, but there's no need for it, even if Apple decide to remove it..

Can show you if the disk is external or internal (looking at the icon type), prevent to mount ESP that are damaged or not readable by the system.

Also can do other things that in this app are not used (like install a bootloader because can handle bootsectors).

 

BTW the mission of this app is only to be able to mout the ESP by pressing the discrete icon on the OSX Top bar and select the preferred one, w/o open a new window or app since is already loaded at login.

nice tool.

Thanks Sir

link still gives 1.1 version..  typo or..?

My laptop has 1 hdd and 1 ssd, and it didn't show EFI partitions on both drives. However it did show EFI partition on USB drive.
