[QUOTE="honestone33, post: 1831420"] You are incorrect. As I have mentioned previously, I [B]always[/B] make a copy of the latest Mac OS installation file to another location. And in fact, for the latest one (OS 10.14.6), I don't even have it inside my Applications folder. In any event, after downloading and installing the latest version of Diskmaker X for Mojave, and then plugging in a USB Flash Drive into a port on my hub, I launched Diskmaker X. It then first asked to find the applicable Mac OS Installation file, and it initially opened my Applications folder, expecting to find it there. But I "navigated" to the location of that file. Diskmake X then asked if I wanted to use the USB Flash Drive I had plugged in, and I said yes. It then proceeded to create the bootable Mojave installation on the USB Flash Drive. And of course it works. Thus, there is no defect in the program. It does what one would expect from an application. Where did you get this notion that Diskmaker X relies on Spotlight? [/QUOTE]
