This software is designed to help users create .dmg archives in an efficient manner. It enables faster processing and allows for quicker creation of archives.
DropDMG has many useful features aimed at saving time, such as temporary preferences that appear when you hold down the Option key, the ability to remember recent folders, and the capability of dropping multiple folders onto DropDMG to create more than one image at a time. All these options are available from AppleScript and from the "dropdmg" command-line tool.
DropDMG can help you with a variety of tasks, such as creating backups for your files, bundling them into a compressed disk image that saves space and ensures their integrity. You can encrypt them too, to keep them safe from unauthorized access. DropDMG also supports burning files, folders, and images to a disc with a simple drag and drop process. Additionally, it helps you prepare Mac OS X software for distribution by creating disk images that are Internet-enabled and have custom icons and license agreements.
Sharing files is straightforward with DropDMG; you can archive and compress files before sending them over a network, e-mailing them, or saving them to removable media. Disk images are the most compatible format for sharing files across different versions of Mac, preserving the metadata and long filenames.
DropDMG lets you create encrypted disk images that protect a select group of files or folders while allowing you to access and modify them by entering your passphrase. You can create device images that record the exact contents of a data CD or DVD, and it lets you burn backup copies of the disc.
DropDMG provides numerous options, and you can specify as many as you want or as few as you want. You can also save named configurations and recall them whenever you need them. You can specify temporary options for the current operation without changing the stored preferences. Using DropDMG is easy; drag the file, folder, or disk onto DropDMG to do what you want, or use a keyboard shortcut, Automator, AppleScript, or the command-line dropdmg tool.
