Version 2.0 of DropDMG is now available.

This is a free update that includes the following changes:

• Converts dropped images to the format specified in the preferences when you hold down Control-Shift.
• Hold down Option when dropping a folder or image to specify settings to be used for that item (temporarily overriding the preferences).
• Makes self-mounting NDIF images (SMIs). This is the only kind of image that supports license agreements on both 9 and X.
• Creates smaller zlib-compressed images when running on 10.2 and later. (The images are still compatible with 10.1’s Disk Copy.)
• You can now choose to post-compress with BZip2 instead of GZip. BZip2 is slower than GZip but creates smaller files.
• Improved the layout of the preferences window.
• Faster at copying files to the image when running on 10.2 and later.
• Worked around 10.2 bug that caused errors when a file or folder name contained a slash (as shown in the Finder).
• Worked around OS X bug that prevented copying files larger than about 1 GB.
• New application icon.
• Compiled with GCC 3.
• No longer calls thread-unsafe parts of Carbon from child threads.
• Prevents the user from making a read-write image with a license agreement, rather than stopping midway through with an error message saying that this wasn’t possible.
• The status window no longer looks as though it will accept the drop when you try to drop a .dmg file that doesn’t need metadata fixing.
• Changed File menu text and keyboard shortcuts to more closely match 10.2’s Disk Copy.
• The about box and registration window now use the design first seen in SpamSieve.
• The log no longer uses the large system font under 10.2.
• Better error message if you try to image the startup volume.
• Fixed bug where images with license agreements contained duplicate styl resources.
