Version 2.1 of DropDMG is now available.

This is a free update that includes the following changes:

• Remembers recent and favorite destination folders.
• Can create Internet-enabled disk images.
• Simplified the drag modifiers, the preferences window, and the scripting interface.
• Can move the source folder to the trash after creating an image.
• Can choose the destination folder when converting.
• You can now specify preferences overrides using one sheet per image, rather than a single modal dialog.
• You can now set the volume name and image name from the scripting interface.
• Added a returning immediately scripting parameter. This lets you control whether the script waits for DropDMG to finish creating the image.
• You can now use tildes in paths when scripting DropDMG.
• Suggests localized image names, when possible, and omits hidden extensions, so that you don’t end up with, e.g., a .app.dmg file.
• The license agreement editor is much more responsive.
• You can set the encoding from the DropDMG Status window’s contextual menu.
• Can now encode .dmg images with MacBinary.
• Updated the MacBinary encoder for compatibility with Apple’s JDK 1.4.1. (In the latest JDK, Apple removed support for JDirect, which the old MacBinary encoder relied upon.)
• Fixed bug where DropDMG couldn’t image a folder with more than 100 or so top-level items.
• Worked around problem where some .dmg images created with Disk Copy could not be converted to .img or .smi.
• Fixed license agreement assertion failure bug.
• DropDMG will no longer let you quit while an image operation is in progress.
• The agreement editor window zooms to the width of the text field that Disk Copy will use to display the agreement when the image is mounted.
• When you drag something over the DropDMG Status window, its instructional text changes to tell you the meanings of the modifier keys.
• The DropDMG Status window is closable (if you register).
• License agreements remember their window positions across renames.
• The License Agreements window is printable.
• The DropDMG Status window zooms to a reasonable width instead of the whole screen.
• The DropDMG Status window summary shows more of the current preferences.
• The progress bar is finer-grained.
• The key equivalent for Delete Selection is Command-Delete instead of Command-D.
• Better error messages.
• DropDMG is better about picking fresh names for its temporary files.
• The Registration window is smarter about ignoring whitespace and control characters that can be introduced when pasting in a serial number.
