"If you have ever created a DMG image using Disk Utility, you know how hard it can be."
Huh? How much easier can it get? ROM -- Read Operator's Mind?

That's my thought..
Click 'create disk image' in DU.
Click on image. Finder opens. Put files in.
Unless you have incredible difficulty using finder I can't see this app making it any easier.

Woah, I did not know it was as simple as using Disk Utility. I've had my Mac for a year and I'm still learning new things! :)

the icon looks like it was lifted from SuperDuper! - i mean, it's really close.

Actually struck me as more similar to XCode's icon; SuperDuper's is more cartoony in my opinion, though it clearly drew inspiration from SuperDuper's icon, if nothing else.

Um... File -> New -> Disk Image, and set the same items you see here?
I'm completely at a loss as to who it is who needs these things. Really - what am I missing?

Software developers frequently use DMG files. They are also useful if you have something you want to encrypt.

I doubt Mr Cory has ever actually tried creating a Disk Image with Disk Utility, so he has no idea how easy it is...

How would one go about creating a disk image of an application with all my preferences/settings included?
I have Azureus set up nicely and want to make a backup of it.

usually you can find preferences for your applications in your home directory's /Library folder.

Look, I'm one of the laziest computer users out here, and even I can use Disk Utility to create a DMG. It is right there-the icon that says Disk Image?

Seriously? The only really annoying thing about disk image creation is making a custom background. From what I can tell, this doesn't even do that.

Get DropDMG, http://c-command.com/dropdmg/. By far the best DMG creation tool available.
Tony said 9:55AM on 5-29-2008
You missed the point completely. These programs are a waste of disk space.
At least iDMG is free. DropDMG have the audacity to try to charge $20 for it!

Am I the only one that finds it ironic that this app isn't distributed as a DMG?

Also looks like AppZapper.

Actually the tags need correcting: it's "Jamelo" and not "chamelo".
The app is very cool, easy and useful too! :-)
