Supinfo Share Manager is the new version of SMB Manager. This freeware has become a real file server bookmark manager.
If you're using many different File Servers every day, Supinfo Share Manager is a tool made for you. Finder user interface you're using to connect to file server is quite minimalistic. Supinfo Share Manager user interface is simple but quite powerful. It allows you to group favorites within collections, to find them quickly and to connect to your file servers with one clic.
But Supinfo Share Manager does more! For example, thanks to Smart Collections, Supinfo Share Manager can automatically connect to apropriate file servers when you're phisically connecting to a Network. You plug your Ethernet cable and all file servers mount automatically.
Supinfo Share Manager manage many different kind of file servers :
The UI is not perfectly obvious, but if you read the help file there are options for having the program automatically mount shares at startup, mount shares depending on what network configuration it finds (so called "Smart Collections"), and hide itself from appearing in the dock.
For what it's worth, this program successfully mounts shares that MountWatcher, a shareware app with a nice interface, fails to mount. (Version 2.0.1)
CROW A nice idea, but there are some bugs. It frequently shows (by way of the checkboxes) that I have other servers mounted, when I don't. When I click connect on one server, it will mount it, but show two servers checked off. Strange.
I'd love to see it work as shortcuts from the dock icon so that I don't have to open up the app in a window to use it. (Version 1.5)
ANONYMOUS I'm goning to release a new version that correct this problem. It's only occurs when you have multiple servers with identical mount point name. (Version 1.5)
