Having learned more about the inner workings of macOS, I decided to start again from scratch.

MACFUSE NOT SHOWING CONTENT 64 BIT

My quick and sloppy fix: compile the beta as a 64 bit application – which worked, but it was unfinished and Dark Theme support was kind-a crappy. This unfortunately was not my only application that was affected by the shift to 64 bit – so I started running out of time – big time. However, the arrival of Catalina forced me to bring out a beta of version 2, as the original ConnectMeNow is only 32 bits. Just a quick note on the versions of ConnectMeNow, because I already hear folks asking: what happened with version 2?Īfter having released the original version (1.x), I started tinkering with a new version. ConnectMeNow – What happened to version 2? More about that later, since ConnectMeNow also allows you to create your own directory where a mount should be placed and ConnectMeNow has the option in the menu to reveal the mount in Finder with a single click.

When using ConnectMeNow, the easiest way is by going to the “/Volumes/” directory on your Mac where you’ll find all mounted network shares that are active. On that note: The Finder is even with ConnectmeNow not the best way to get to your mounted network shares.

I just got tired of doing all this manual labor. So this is where ConnectMeNow is supposed to come in.

Out of the box, under macOS, you’ll need to go through some hoops to “open” such a Network Share.Įither the “server” is listed in Finder on the left, and you’ll have to click it to be confronted with selecting a share-name and entering username and password, OR you have to use “Go” menu in Finder and select “Connect to server” option – which comes with even more questions.īoth options are rather cumbersome, if not slow, if you ask me (Apple: please pay attention here – this is a rather poor user experience!). For example a QNAP NAS runs a Linux variant, however can share directories in a Windows originated format (SMB), and be accessed by a macOS computer.

The Operating System of these “computers” does not need to be relevant.

The “different computer” can be another computer, a NAS ( Network Attached Storage – like from QNAP, Synology, Western Digital, Seagate, etc.), or even a full size server. Note: this is most certainly not the most complete, technical or most correct description, but for most regular users this will suffice. So, let’s start by explaining what “ mounting network shares” means.Īttaching a directory located on a different computer, shared over a network, to your computer as if it was a local disk drive.

ConnectMeNow - What happened to version 2?.

1 Mounting Network Shares with ConnectMeNow.

So after months of work, I’d like to present ConnectMeNow v3, which hopefully makes working with shares easier for you as well. In Finder, a server doesn’t always appear right away, we need to go through a list of shares on a given “server”, get confused if we need SMB, CIFS, FTP, SSH, WebDAV, NFS or AFP, and I’m not even mentioning the need to enter a username and password on protected shares.įor this reason I created ConnectMeNow – initially just for personal use.īut the arrival of the 64 bit requirement, mandatory signed applications, and notarization requirements, and Catalina issues, my original old version was simply outdated. Unfortunately, it is still cumbersome under macOS X to connect to those “ shares” (also known as mounted network “ Volumes“). We have network shares on our computers, want to access company network shares, or have a dedicated file server or NAS ( Network Attached Storage) to store our information or make our backups. We are more network connected than ever before – at home, in school and at work. In this day and age a little weird to still see this, especially from a company like Apple. MacOS is great – I really like it a lot – but one thing it doesn’t handle all that great is … network shares.
