Existing users, 
Have used 0.1 without problem, Now trying 2.1 it will nor even accept the external drive which has 2 partitions called EX/HD A and EX/HD B. When I enter these in the application, separated by a return as requested, it tells me /bin/sh: line 1: /Volumes/EX/HD A/.list: No such file or directory (1).
I do not know if this is a hang-over from version 0.1 or something wrong with v 2.1, and there is no help or advice or contact to help resolve it.

2.1 doesn't work for me - ambrose_carracho
The slash '/' is a not just a reserved character. It's reserved for UNIX paths. You'll eventually run into other problems -- perhaps truly troublesome ones -- by using it inside partition names. It's best to get rid of it entirely and use a safe character such as an underscore '_', a hyphen '-', or a space.An earlier comment mentioned escaping the slash with a forward slash, but this would be possible only if you were directly entering the command and the argument. Here, the application does it for you, and it does not expect to see a '/' as part of the partition name -- part of its job is to insert '/' marks into your volume paths, not remove them.
Yes, the programmer might have anticipated this and set an exception trap. Since he didn't, though, you can be sure others have done the same. You'd better hope you never use a disk formatter one of them wrote.

If using "/" in the actual name of the drive, you will want to preceed the "/" with a "\". example "EX\/Backup". this should work.Reply to This
