I think it's great that MacFUSE can behave in a Mac-like fashion in terms of mounted volumes showing up on the Desktop w/ the (in my opinion, strange) mount point turning into some manner of link in the Finder.
However, I would love an option that would allow mounts to be transparent to the Finder/MacOS layer. That is, the way they work in the Unix-like paradigm, bypassing Core File Manager/Disk Arbitration. I realize this violates the Mac OS mount/unmount drag-drop interface style, but it has (what I consider) benefits: - As is, you can't drag a mount-point folder into a Finder side bar, because it's not a "real" folder. This is Finder's fault, but it seems like an easy workaround would be to handle mounting at unix layer exclusively. I'd prefer clicking on the folder in the sidebar and having it be empty when unmounted rather than not being able to do it at all. (I realize that the volume shows up in the top portion of that sidebar, but given that I might have 15 network volumes mounted, having a consistently placed shortcut in the bottom portion would be valuable) - Consistent volume icons on the mount point? (metadata in general which is more signifcant) Does the Finder (as I fear) make this impossible? The fact that it might return wrong information in the 'Get Info' box I see as an acceptable trade off. Could I get this behavior by just compiling FUSE under MacOS? (if so, sorry to waste your time, but wouldn't that make it easy to retain as an option?) I would never argue for only unix-style mounting ability, but I think having it as an option would be awesome.
