Version 2.7 of DropDMG is now available.

This is a free update that includes the following changes:

• Added commands for burning folders, files, and disk images. As a shortcut, you can initiate a burn by dragging and dropping onto the status window or the DropDMG icon while holding down the Shift key. Hold down Option and Shift when dropping a disk image if you want to burn the image as a file, rather than burning its contents.
• Added smooth determinate progress bars for the longer steps when creating disk images (requires Mac OS X 10.4).
• Progress windows now have a cancel button, an icon showing the kind of file that’s being created, and an icon and title bar menu that show the source file or folder.
• Added Quit When Done option; if selected, DropDMG will quit when there are no longer any image, archive, or burn operations in progress.
• The status window now has a pop-up menu for displaying and changing the current configuration.
• Better creation of device images from multi-partition devices.
• Progress windows are now tiled (so they don’t overlap), and DropDMG is better at remembering where you like to position them. Dragging a progress window sets the preferred location for new progress windows.
• The following File menu commands can now accept multiple selection, so that you can operate on more than one image at a time: Fix Image…, Get Image Info…, Mount Image (with Owners)…, Verify Image Checksum….
• Improved scriptability. You can now access DropDMG’s windows, menus, and other interface elements from AppleScript. You can also access the current imaging and burning operations and cancel them. You can initiate burns from AppleScript.
• The Automator action is now a universal binary.
• The dropdmg command-line tool now properly communicates with the DropDMG application when running on Intel.
• Fixed bug where image creation could fail with an error when creating an image on an external volume, depending on the lengths of the source and destination paths.
• Fixed regression where file packages weren’t wrapped when DropDMG was running with root access.
• Fixed bug where Sanitize for Servers didn’t account for file names that were entirely non-ASCII characters.
• Fixed bug where DropDMG would sometimes fail to remove an extra folder layer when converting from Zip format.
• Fixed bug where the Edit Configurations window allowed multiple selection.
• Fixed bug that could cause a crash when creating a disk image if the OS reported an error at exactly the wrong moment.
• The Purchase window now makes it more clear when the serial number has been successfully entered. Merged the Web Purchase… and Instant Purchase… buttons.
• Adjusted the way the remaining demo time is displayed.
• Updated Czech, Dutch, French, and Italian localizations.
