DropDMG 3.5.9 macOS (16 MB .zip) - Mac Full Download

Info

DropDMG 3.5.9 Disk images pack entire folders or disks into a single compressed file for transport over the Internet or for backup only. They're Apple's preferred format for distributing Mac software, and the only archive format whose contents you can access directly in the Mac Finder; no third party software required

Features

Overview - Create and convert disk images and archives with a simple drag and drop method. There are other convenient ways to invoke DropDMG. You can create a disk image or archive from an existing file or folder, or create a new blank disk image. - DropDMG supports all major formats, including compressed .dmg files, .sparsebundle files, .zip and .tar.gz archives, and hybrid disk images. Zlib disk images and ZIP archives created by DropDMG are smaller than those created by Disk Utility and Finder. - Configurations let you reuse global collections of settings, and temporary options let you easily make one-time changes. - Create bootable macOS installation discs from downloaded OS installer applications to help repair your Mac, restore from backup, and test new OS versions. - Quickly burn files, folders or disc images to CD or DVD. Multisession support lets you add files to an existing CD. Software Submit - Create .dmg disk image files, which is the recommended container format for distributing Apple's Mac software. DropDMG can automatically sign for Gatekeeper, as recommended for macOS 10.12 Sierra. - Design reusable layouts with retina-optimized background images and pixel-perfect icon positioning. Add text boxes with custom fonts, styles, shadows and variables. - Before installing your user software, apply a license agreement that macOS will display. The licenses support rich text and multiple languages. - Automatically creates a custom volume icon that marks your application's icon with 3D perspective matching the white disk image icon. - Automatically, Trash and Trash at the root of the disk image. Activate your disk images from the Internet so Safari automatically expands them into a folder after downloading. - Burn CDs and DVDs with background images and icon layouts that open automatically when the disc is inserted. - Store your license agreements and layouts in open formats (RTF, XML) under version control. Backups, Archiving and Cloning - Disk images preserve Mac-specific metadata: resource forks, Finder tags, creation dates, ownership, extended attributes, etc. - Save disk space and network transfer time by compressing your files. Choose faster or more effective compression. - Split large files or folders into multiple partitions to burn to optical discs or easily transfer over a network. - Verify the integrity of your backups and archives to ensure that the media is still intact and that you can restore it if necessary. - Create a device image that saves the full contents of the data CD or DVD. You can burn bootable backup copies of the disc or double-click the disc image to access its contents as if the disc were still in your optical drive. - In one step, create a device image clone of the entire hard drive, optimized for restoring using Apple Software Restore or Disk Utility. This is useful for backup and for setting up multiple computers in the lab. - Optionally, enter your administrator password so DropDMG can back up all your files with appropriate permissions and ownership while unattended. encryption - Encrypt files you want to keep private. DropDMG's encrypted, writable disk images are more secure than Apple's FileVault, but are safe and searchable with Spotlight. Compress them to reclaim unused space. - Create encrypted, compressed disk images to securely transfer files via email, Dropbox, or FTP, or safely store backups on-site. - Choose between 128-bit and 256-bit AES encryption approved by the US National Security Agency. - Optionally store your passwords in the macOS keychain so you can quickly create and access encrypted disk images; - Mount disk images in specific locations on the file system so your applications can keep their backing files encrypted. - Change the password of existing encrypted disk images. - Mount encrypted, partitioned disk images without having to enter passwords for each partition separately. Advanced - Runs multiple processes simultaneously so you can continue working while DropDMG processes in the background. - Leverages multiple processor cores for faster compression and encryption. - Keeps a detailed log of all successful operations and a record of all errors, including statistics such as throughput and how much space will be saved using compression. New log entries are also notified via Notification Center and Growl. - Fast disk image mounting: turn off authentication to quickly mount disk images, use shadow files, and mount encrypted disk images without having to retype the password for each partition. - Get detailed information about your disk images: their format, partitions, compression ratios, checksums, etc. - Create, transform, assemble, verify, retrieve information, write, merge, etc. Easily bulk queue transactions. If multiple encrypted disk images share a password, you only need to enter it once. - Keep your favorite destination folders in the recent folders list. - Process the names of output files to add the current date, add the version number of the displayed application, or make the file name server friendly. - Select the file system for your disk image. This is especially useful for developers who want to test that their applications work with different file systems. For HFS+, DropDMG supports journaled and unpublished formats, as well as case-sensitive or case-insensitive. DropDMG also supports the next generation Apple File System (AFPS). - Automate via AppleScript, dropdmg command line tool, and Automator.
