Saved Settings Droplet
Summary: Saves a collection of DropDMG settings into a droplet.
Requires: DropDMG 2.0
Suggested Key Binding: Save as an AppleScript droplet; use via drag and drop.
Description
Several users have requested the ability to create named collections of DropDMG settings so that they can quickly switch between them. This is already possible using AppleScript. You can modify the template below to include the DropDMG settings that you want. Then save the script as an AppleScript applet and drop files onto the droplet rather than DropDMG itself. Of course, you can make as many droplets as you want, share them with your friends and colleagues, etc.
With DropDMG 2.5, you might prefer to use the Configurations feature to remember collections of settings.
