Version 1.7 of DropDMG is now available.

This is a free update that includes the following changes:

  • Added support for license agreements. License agreements support rich text and may be localized.
  • The image destination path is now stored abbreviated with a tilde, if possible. This should help people who have multiple boot partitions.
  • The log is printable.
  • Finer-grained progress bar and status text.
  • If adding the requisite filename extensions would make the requested image name longer than the limit, DropDMG will now quietly truncate the name rather than stopping with an error.
  • NDIF images are now created with filenames of 31 characters or less, so that there won’t be any name mangling when they’re viewed in Mac OS 9.
  • DropDMG now truncates .dmg volume names to 62 characters and .img volume names to 27.
  • Fixed bug where DropDMG could deadlock after certain kinds of errors.
  • Fixed bug where DropDMG sometimes didn’t detect filename collisions until after it started making the image.
  • Fixed bug where DropDMG would overwrite pre-existing .dmgpart files if the first segment was not present and the newly created image happened to have the same name.
  • Renamed some File menu commands.
