[Solved] how to name target mount points?

First, thank you for developing a better means of managing mounts on macOS and updating the app so it works on more recent version of macOS!

I installed the app and it mounts my SMB shares no problem which is great.

While I see the preference to change the parent mount directory (eg. ~/Mountpoints), I don't see a way to change the mountpoint name itself.

I would have assumed the app would have defaulted to the macOS default (eg. "/Volumes/SHARE") but instead it gets mounted as "/Volumes/SHARE (server)"

How can I can change what the target mount name/path will be?  There are a few apps that aren't very friendly with embedded spaces (eg. specifying remote path in scp) so I would prefer "/Volumes/SHARE"

I am also under the assumption that the way the failover feature works is if I have two servers that offer the same path (eg. SHARE), that if the server I select to automount on login is not available, it will try the specified second server (in the dropdown) which will ultimately mount /Volumes/SHARE (which makes the failover transparent to other apps)

I don't see how transparency works with the server name embedded in the mount point?

btw, for due diligence, tried to rename the "Menu label" to "SHARE" but not surprisingly, it didn't impact the name of the mount point itself.

I just realized the blog post that pointed me to your utility had me install v3 of the app.

I saw the v4 link on the left and installed 4.0.18 - now it names my mount point `/Volumes/SHARE` as expected :)
