New method to get Volume Name

[LinusU]

The Volume Name currently is an empty string for the root path, (should be e.g. Macintosh HD).

Mounted volume that got a number appended to it also gets wrongly detected, (e.g. Test Title 1 when it should be Test Title).

The Volume Name currently is an empty string for the root path, (should be e.g. Macintosh HD).

Sorry for being lame, but could you tell me when it happens (how to reproduce it)?

https://github.com/LinusU/node-alias/blob/master/lib/create.js#L68

a = require('node-alias');
b = a.create('/bin/mkdir');
i = a.decode(b);
console.log(i);

It occurs when trying to create an alias to any file that is on the root volume.

More importantly for node-ds-store, it also occurs when creating an alias to a volume that is mounted to a folder that has not exactly the same name as the volume name.

@szwacz finding anything useful? The only way I have found is to parse the output from diskutil list but that would mean that we would be back to depending on OS X :(

Might be of interest:

I guess that a module implemented in c++ would be the best but I haven't found any good apis yet.

It would be really great if it would work on both Linux and Mac. (and Windows would be cool as well)

I was trying to wrap my mind around it all and sorry but this is too much. I just wanted DMG image in shortest way possible, not a general, bullet proof alias parsing/creating utility :)

If it was up to me I would prefer to construct dummy aliases from predefined binary templates (just inject needed data there). Actually background image in DMG will be always in the same location and always with the same name, so it should be a lot easier than this.
