I had the prior version of MacFusion working fine. I recently tried
2.0.1, I believe for the first time, although I installed it a while
ago. When I open it, it brings up a window, but nothing happens if I
click on the plus on the lower left. Clicking on the "minus" does
flash, and clicking on the "gear" pulls down a grayed out menu.
And there are no connections listed in the window. I believe that it
should show me prior saved connections. I checked for updates and let
it update to 2.0.3 and restart, but that didn't change anything.
I then tried to remove the org.mgorbach.MacFusion.plist. I found that
when I restarted it then created org.mgorbach.MacFusion2.plist, so I
removed that and restarted. I also tried to remove the Library-
>Application Support->Macfusion folder, and restarted, but again, no
luck.
I am guessing that it somehow relates to something left by the prior
version, but I tried removing the obvious things. Did I miss
something? Is there another bug?
How can I get it to work?

Thanks,

I also tried to download 2.0.3 directly, and tried reinstalling
MacFuse-1.7 and MacFuse-Core-10.5-1.7.1 with the same results.

Using the latest version 2.0.3 should fix this problem. Delete your
old version and use this. Also, before using 2.0.3 delete ~/Library/
Application Support/Macfusion.

No luck.
I quit Macfusion, deleted the Application Support/MacFusion folder
then re-installed 2.0.3 and I am getting the same problem.

What might also be a clue....or a separate problem:
If I select start Macfusion Menuitem I get a dialog box that says:
Could not connect to macfusion agent.
Macfuction Menuling will now quit.

I had to reboot my machine, for another reason, and after a reboot
when I started Macfusion for the first time I got this:
The macfusion agent process is not started.
Would you like to start the agent?
Otherwise, Macfusion witll Quit.

When I clicked Start, now all seems fine. I had not had this message
the prior times that I started Macfusion. So it seems that something
was wrong with how it was checking for that agent, and that was
causing a problem. But after deleting the App Support, then doing a
reboot, it seemed to solve the problem. I also tried to quit and
restart Macfusion and it still seems fine.

Thanks for the nice application. I hope that this helps you debug the
startup, or whatever was going on.
