Ok, I'm revising my previous review for the new version, which works much better. Nice to see the bug fixed so quickly, and the flag is much nicer than "Low!" flashing every five seconds. Also nice that, while the flag continues to flash, it doesn't beep every five seconds anymore. The various finder tools are kinda neat too.
One feature I'd like is the ability to set it so that, when disk space goes bellow the limit, instead of continually flashing the flag, it just switches to a flag icon and stays there until disk space goes back into a good area. Even without that it's a nice app, though.
I'm also curious about the Fire Brigade feature you mention in the preference pane. It says it's "not available in this free release"? I visited your website but did not find any information on the present or future status of a paid version of the software.
My last suggestion is this: Mounty is small, and consists of a single app with a readme file. Instead of using an Installer package, why not just put the app on the disk image, and allow the user to drag it to their application folder (or wherever else they like)?

adamgardner got it right. After installing and launching Mounty, I began to mount other disk images. Mounty began alerting me about low disk space, but when I unmounted the DMG, it stopped.
It's a great idea, and I could really make use of this if you could only have Mounty triggered by hard drives. I have one internal HD, and two external FireWire drives and need to keep track of space.
Otherwise, I don't see any other problems. I'm going to disable it until I can mount DMG's again without Mounty freaking out.
