Product Description:

DropDMG is the easiest way to create Mac OS X disk images. Just drag and drop a folder or file, and DropDMG will create an image in ".dmg", ".img", or ".smi" format--or a Tar, Zip, or StuffIt archive. Or, you can drag an existing image or archive file onto DropDMG to easily convert it to any of the other supported formats. DropDMG supports encryption, segmented images, and custom icons, and it can create images with rich-text license agreements in multiple languages. There are many time-saving features such as temporary preferences when you hold down Option, remembering recent folders, configurations to keep track of popular combinations of settings, and the ability to create more than one image or archive at a time. All the options are available from Automator, AppleScript, and from the "dropdmg" command-line tool.

Use DropDMG to:

  • Backup your important folders (you know you should) and archive your old files.
  • Burn to CD or DVD, spanning multiple discs if necessary.
  • Prepare Mac OS X software for distribution.
  • Compress files before sharing them.
  • Create a disk image that stores a snapshot of an entire volume.
  • Encrypt folders that you want to keep private.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed bug where saved Automator workflows didn’t use the proper configuration when running on Mac OS X 10.5.2.
  • Fixed bug where certain disk images of application files created on Mac OS X 10.5.2 would mount on 10.3, but the Finder would refuse to open them. (The contents were intact and accessible from other applications.)

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 or higher

Well worth it's price if you use it daily!

Superb product Michael Tsai , keep up the great work!

I'd give it a 10 out of 5 stars!!

I have not tried DropDMG. I am using DMGConverter because it is free. So far (using Leapard or Tiger) I have not had any problems.

So far no other tool has the same power and flexibility. Not to mention for those times you need something other than a sparse image, it's very good at compressing disk images too. Smaller images than Toast or Apple's Disk Utility using zlib compression.

Works flawlessly on my iMac (MacIntel) running OSX 10.4.10(11).

DropDMG is well worth it's weight in gold Michael Tsai !

Great work !
