You can set esoteric DropDMG preferences by clicking the links on this page.
Unlike with regular preferences, you must generally quit and re-launch DropDMG
in order for an esoteric preference to take effect.
- AppendDateWithSeconds
- When using the Append current date option, DropDMG usually uses the
YYYY-MM-DD format.
You can also set it to use the YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS format. This is
useful if you will be creating more than one dated disk image on the same
day and you want the files to have unique names.
- BlankBackgroundSize
- When creating a disk image with a layout, DropDMG normally sets the size of
the mounted image window to the size of the background picture. If you don’t
specify a background picture, it uses 640×480. You can also
set it to use 800×600.
- CreateDeviceImages
- DropDMG normally detects when you are trying to make a disk image of a
volume and creates a device image. Device images are exact
copies, and creating them is faster. You may, however, prefer that DropDMG
create regular disk images of volumes, as this will
give you control over the volume name.
- LayoutViewGridSize
- DropDMG layouts ordinarily use a grid size of 16×16 pixels. You can
temporarily ignore the grid by holding down the Command key or change the
grid size to 8×8.
