In 10.9.5, there is both a warning for low disk space, and a warning for out of disk space. Unfortunately, there is a tick box to prevent that message from coming back up again, and since all messages show up in approximately the same space, and since no one decided to disable buttons in a UI panel when it first shows up, you can be trying to hit one panel, another panel suddenly appears in front of you, and you have activated the wrong button in the wrong panel. > > In any event, I highly recommend the freeware tool GrandPerspective.

I use an older version of Grand Perspective, that is read only with no ability to alter the file system, with support for Time Machine backups. (Specifically, ignoring multi-linked directories). I discovered that I have to set the set UID bit and make it owned by root in order for it to accurately read a Time Machine backup. I do love the interface of it, and the way it displays files. I have no clue how to write that display myself. >> On Jan 28, 2018, at 1:11 PM, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> How do I re-enable notices of low disk space if they were turned off by >> accident? >> >> 10.9.5. >> >> --- >> Entertaining minecraft videos >> http://YouTube.com/keybounce >> >> _______________________________________________ >> MacOSX-talk mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk > --- Entertaining minecraft videos http://YouTube.com/keybounce _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
