Here goes nothing... Can anyone give any help installing this on OS X
https://github.com/phatina/simple-mtpfs

I can try to configure, but it gives me the error about libmtp not found. I installed libmtp through Macports. I have no idea how to install it otherwise. I'm not a programmer but I'll gladly throw commands at Terminal if I just get my Jolla to work on OS X.

If the Jolla store has 47 applications now, even before the device goes on general sale, that's roughly 20% of what the 770 ever had during its lifetime and about 10% of what was ever available for the N800/N810.

(Of course, we're not even counting compatible applications from 3rd party Android stores here, some which seem to be really popular with Jolla users.)

Had somebody told me back then, I wouldn't have believed him.

More than enough.

That was what I had asked before, when you answered "All the reasons why were mentioned before" instead of simply saying "Yes +10chars".

Minimos was kind enough to solve that for me meanwhile. Thanks anyway.

I'm "bitching" (thanks again) about mass storage because I'm on a Gnome desktop here and MTP hardly does anything for me. It either doesn't work at all or only accesses a restricted set of file types, which is about as useful as a file manager only showing filenames from J to Q.

I'm with you about Apple, but couldn't care less about if and how any phone works with Apple products.

Anyway, no further questions here, thank you.

Off-topic but when you are building something, -dev packages are usually required so I guess it's failing for you as you need to install libmtp-dev

Reminds me of the good old everyone moving away from Flash in favour of HTML5.

I trust Jolla has the mass storage mode on the features to complete list.

How does this affect the SD card, which JollaHQ is advising be formatted a FAT32 on Twitter?

Hmm weird. Well I use cinnamon, and it works fine for me. Although sometimes I need to open the filemanager myself as it sometimes gets confused when several different programs try to access it. Like when I already have shotwell or gphoto open. Maybe something you could try? Sometimes with USB trying another port helps too.

Great, thanks, and I assume that is reason. I'm currently slightly confused about settings. I have
-email address I wish to use in outgoing email "from" and "reply-to" field
-username and pw to IMAP server (SSL)
-username and pw to SMTP server (SSL)
These are not anyway related to each other or server names/addresses. They work fine with several different devices.

Current Jolla email account dialog has
-server userames and passwords and addresses
-name at the top under "Email", changing with some way
-"Account information" field

I fail to understand what is "email address" in current dialog (not been able to send anything), but hopefully the update clears things.

I got a bit more forward, I installed libmtp again through Homebrew, and this time I get this message with configure:

checking for FUSE... no
configure: error: Package requirements (fuse >= 2.7.3) were not met:

No package 'fuse' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FUSE_CFLAGS
and FUSE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
Apparently this OSXFUSE is not high enough, as it's 2.6.2 so I'm so out of luck Or, configure cannot find the package and I don't know how to point it to the right place, can anyone give me directions?

If you guys can help me get this thing to work and successfully mount a Jolla to the desktop, that will greatly help all OS X users and we can stop "bitching"

Yes, using a cloud service is the same as ignoring basic application security and letting all apps access everything. Nobody could use a cloud service, and then worry about one app reading another's data. I'm sorry, I'll go back to my cave now.

I see security is not taken seriously around here. For shame.
