Thank you Mickey :)

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

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.

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. :(
