are there plans to adapt RcloneTray to work with macfuse? #15

Open maelcum opened 3 years ago

Prerequisites:

Tests:

Manually mounting a rclone remote with:

    rclone mount remote: path/to/some/mountpoint

works (with the installed macFUSE).

Trying to mount a rclone remote with RcloneTray will fail with:

    Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: cannot locate OSXFUSE

The error explains it all, since macFUSE != OSXFUSE.
But OSXFUSE is deprecated since 2020-10 and (quote from brew info osxfuse) "osxfuse has been succeeded by macfuse as of version 4.0.0."

Question:

Are there plans to adapt RcloneTray to work with macFUSE? That would make it so much more useful for modern systems (e.g. with Apple Silicon).


Additional info:

Trying to mount a rclone drive will fail with a different error message:

    Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: failed to retrieve mount path information: stat /Volumes/remote: no such file or directory

Maybe this helps.
