Version 1.6 of DropDMG is now available.

This is a free update that includes the following changes:

  • Option to make images auto-open. When you mount an image, its window opens in the Finder. Previously, there might have been no visual indication that the image had mounted, depending on how the user’s Finder preferences were set.
  • The status window has a contextual menu for quickly changing common preferences.
  • You can optionally set the names of the image file and volume, instead of having them based on the name of the folder.
  • Documentation is now included in Apple Help (HTML) format as well as PDF.
  • Contains a menu command for clearing the log.
  • No longer fails when copying files for which the user only has read privileges. Previously, DropDMG would copy the file and permissions and then report a permissions error when it tried to set the catalog information of the copy, which wasn’t writable.
  • The radio buttons for selecting where the image will be saved are no longer linked to the image destination text field. That is, tabbing of the text field no longer affects the radio button’s selection, making the preferences more friendly for keyboard navigators.

For more information, please see the DropDMG Manual.
