VFS Hide mounted volumes

This configuration of the VFS can be applied to macOS operating systems.

Introduction

If you have set the Finder preferences that all hard drives and all connected servers are displayed on the desktop, even the virtual drive of a started censhare clients will be displayed. However, in practice, this does not make sense, because its content is invisible in the Finder.

This can be confusing with an increasing number of parallel clients and/or multiple connected servers:

VFS mount visible on the desktop (hidden="0")

Default drive icons settings

VFS mount visible in the Finder (hidden="0")

Hide VFS volumes

Fort this configuration, you must have installed the latest Client with the provided installer.

To hide a mounted VFS connected volume starting with censhare Client 4.7.22 and 4.8.5 do the following:

Add the attribute hidden="1" to node <censhare-vfs ... /> in your local hosts.xml file:

CODE

<host url="//yourServer/corpus.RMIServer"
      name="serverName">
 <censhare-vfs use="1" hidden="1" />
</host>

At the next launch of the censhare Client, the VFS volume icon is no longer displayed on the desktop or in the Finder.
