Macfusion 2 Beta 2 Available

[Michael Gorbach]

Hello all,
Thought I would update the testing binary release, as the previous
beta 1 posted had a myriad significant problems.
Most of the serious bugs should be resolved by now, and the UI has
been refined a bit.
The new beta release is at http://macfusion.makalumedia.com/mf2beta2.dmg.
Please do give it a try and let me know if you have suggestions or any
problems. The trac site for filing bugs or suggestions is here:
http://macfusion.makalumedia.com/trac/.
Also, you can check out the subversion trunk source from
http://macfusion.makalumedia.com/svn/macfusion2/trunk.
I'll be working for a few improvements over the next few days, so
expect a beta 3 soon, probably with some additional plugins (first
FTP).

Thank you all again for your help in testing,
~ Michael Gorbach

I had MacFuse and MacFusion installed and working on Tiger machine.
After upgrading to Leopard, I installed MacFusion 1.2 Beta 3 with
MacFuse 1.3.1, but I could never get MacFusion to mount my file
system. The log looked like this:
MacFusion Core: Untested MacFuse version 1.3.1 detected, not warning
user
MacFusion Core: Loaded FTPFS filesystem from
org.mgorbach.MacFusion.FTPFS
MacFusion Core: Loaded SSHFS filesystem from
org.mgorbach.MacFusion.SSHFS
mp1: Mount Failed

I tried uninstalling and re-installing both packages many times to no
avail. Then I installed MacFusion 2 Beta 2 and my problems have gone
away. My mount succeeds and I'm enjoying the improved UI.

(FWIW, I was able to mount successfully using MacFusion 1.2. Beta 3
and MacFuse 1.3.1 on a new Leopard machine.)

Thanks,
JR

Does this release support the encfs filesystem? Also, is there a way
to import my Macfusion v1 favorites into v2?

Thanks

Will,
This release does not yet have an encfs plugin. The developers are
working on making that happen, though.
An import feature would be interesting. This may be something I could
include in a first-run assistant I'm planning on adding before final
2.0 release.

Hi -

I'm not sure what the overall plans are for this release, but I've
liked the previous one, and mainly would like to see more plugins
available.

Should the existing sshfs code that is available for the plugin be
considered good reference for creating further plugins? Might the API
change significantly on 2.0 prior to release?

Also, it would be great to have some centralized location for plugins
or even a Quicksilver-esque in-application method for getting and
updating plugins.

I'd happily add a few plugins, including making appropriate
adjustments to scord (http://scord.sourceforge.net/), which I would
love to have a nice gui to manage additional repositories through
without having to use launchd or something else.

There are a ton of FUSE filesystems out there, and many can be
compiled on OS X with a minimal amount of effort, but It'd be even
more fabulous if a number of them were pre-compiled and available for
MacFusion.
