10.5: Disable the 'use this disk?' Time Machine dialog
Authored by: robg on Nov 20, '09 06:06:00AM
An anonymous submitter sent this in as a hint; I'm listing it here as an alternative to this hint:
This has to do with Time Machine and presenting the dialogue when a suitable drive is mounted. If a file name ".com.apple.timemachine.donotpresent" is in the root directory of the Hard Drive, then it seems to disable the dialogue.
One issue seems to be that to make this file appear, you have to first connect the drive, which will generate the warning dialog ... and if you say "no," then this value is set anyway (so it won't be asked again for that drive).
