iDMG

The only downside to the application is the many times you encounter the slow "I am working" message. Other than that, this application offers a bunch of options like encryption, custom icons, and multiple file systems. In addition, iDMG uses the Sparkle update framework and Growl notifications.
This application is available for download as freeware (donations accepted) from the developer's website.

If you have ever created a DMG image using Disk Utility, you know how hard it can be. iDMG hopes to make this process easier. This...

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

At least iDMG is free. DropDMG have the audacity to try to charge $20 for it!
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?

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.

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.

May 28 2008 at 8:31 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyActually 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.

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! :)
