[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1578429, member: 38864"] Ok... on first launch, it defaults to an option to "Review and manage scanning results as a disk". There's a ? that leads to an info bubble that explains OSXFUSE will be needed, and is only available to registered users. [ATTACH=FULL]20408[/ATTACH] And leaving that option checked is what installs OSXFUSE. When getting the prompt for your password, I thought it was just a final installation for Disk Drill, but that's not the case. If you de-select that option, OSXFUSE won't get installed, but you will still have to enter your password to continue, typical of any utility. I can definitely recommend unchecking that option. If you leave it checked, then you get the persistent message up top to upgrade your license, even after entering your reg code. That struck me as odd when I saw that the message never went away when I registered. Also, the option to mount results as a disk is now completely missing. Before, it was a toggle at the bottom. There is no option to enable it anywhere. I'm betting the toggle would re-appear if I manually downloaded and installed OSXFUSE. Even now, I'm getting notifications when I run Disk Drill that I need to install it. Basically, I think this is easily chalked up to buggy behavior and lack of clarity on the developer's part when OSXFUSE is about to be installed. This must be a relatively recent feature added because I don't recall encountering before in the couple times I've tried it. [/QUOTE]
