Hi,

Is there an option in hdiutil to not show the mounted icon of a disk image on the desktop or in the Finder? I don't want to uncheck the CD/DVD item in the Finder's preferences. I was hoping that there was a setting in hditul that would allow me to create an image with this capability.

I have noticed on occasion disk images mounting, but not being visible in the Finder through some sort of bug in the OS, just wondering if there is an option for this. I was hoping to have an image mount on startup.

THANKS!

Can this be applied to the creation of a disk image? So that -nobrowse will always be executed by that disk image when it mounts/attaches without me having to mount it differently each time...
