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:
- Worked around OS bug that could cause crashes when editing license agreements.
- Fixed bug when converting multiple archives simultaneously using StuffIt Expander.
- Rewrote the Software Update feature. When a new version is available, it can now show you the release notes. DropDMG now downloads the new version itself, rather than relying on your browser. The Download & Install button will cause DropDMG to auto-update itself to the latest version.
- Added recommended segment sizes to the manual and tooltip.
- If no windows are open when you click on DropDMG’s icon in the Dock, it will now open The Status Window.
- The Volume Name field is ignored when creating a device image, so it’s now disabled in that case.
- Aliases in the Recent Folders folder are now created with icons.
- Dates in the log now follow the user’s preferred short format.
- Fixed bug where it was possible to change the destination folder without the active configuration changing to (custom).
- Fixed bug where clicking the Confirm button could change the configuration to (custom).
- Fixed regression where DropDMG didn’t set the image name based on the localized name of the source file/folder.
- Fixed a small memory leak when making custom icons.
- Fixed bug converting multiple archives from the same folder.
- The segment size field is now disabled when unchecked.
- Fixed bug with display of remaining demo time.
- Fixed bug with Purchase window sheet.
- More code modernization and bullet-proofing.
- Made various localization, documentation, and error message improvements.
