	Oct 18 2006	JETFIREDX Just wiped my system and started over after trouble with the 10.4.8 update and it appears that the link is broken. Any mirrors? (Version 1.2)		0

	Nov 14 2005	AZARHI The fix for the default install location is in to allow the Start on login to work again. Sorry for the long delay. (Version 1.1.1)		0

	Aug 20 2005	THEBRIX Can anyone confirm that, on Tiger (10.4.2), the "Automatically start on login" checkbox setting doesn't stick - it is unchecked immediately after checking it and switching away from the DSW Preference pane? A pity - it is a useful application, to the extent that it should be part of the OS, and I use it to run iPodBackup whenever I connect my iPod. (Version 1.1)		0

RUSKIWI I have the same. Pity as DSW is easier to use than Folder Actions. I'd really like to see it start on login.

	May 10 2005	ANONYMOUS How is attaching a folder action to the /Volumes/ directory any different? The interface? (Version 1.1)		0

LOU KASH Well, most likely. The /Volumes directory is invisible to an average Mac user. The average Mac user doesn't really want to mess with things he/she doesn't understand.

This is why we average Mac users appreciate software developers who give us clean and easy to use GUIs for accomplishing tasks we wouldn't even guess they are possible.

And it's even for free!

	Jul 18 2004	YOXI This is a great idea, and works well - there's still something weird that happens when the app/doc that's run is a terminal command .term file, though - it gets launched as many times as there are volumes on my f/w drive, even if I only mount the volume that the app is linked to in the rule. Still impressed though! (Version 1.0.1)		0

	Jun 17 2004	WRAITHE Working fine now, looks like. VERY interesting idea, something that Apple used to have in betas of OS X, nicely implemented. I can see a LOT of useful things to do with this prefpane! (Version 1.0.1)		0

	Jun 17 2004	ANONYMOUS Terrific idea. Would be even better if it actually worked, but so far nothing happens when volumes are mounted. (Version 1.0)		0
