Does anyone know how to contact the creator/publisher of gDisk – I can’t get it to work – It completely locks up when you try to create a file/label to put things in? – Has anyone got this program to work?

Same thing here. Damn thing crashes to the desktop as soon as I try to create a label.
I think it’s a complete dud, let’s forget it.

Yes, I noticed some problems with it as well. The developer clearly states that the application may stop working after any Gmail update. He used to fix it before, but I guess this time it’ got cripled for good.

I have the same problem. It crashes every time I try to add a label or do anything with it.
