This is a free update for owners of <a href=\"http:\/\/c-command.com\/blog\/2010\/06\/29\/dropdmg-3-0\/\">DropDMG 3.0<\/a> that includes the following enhancements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>DropDMG is much faster at creating large disk images under most circumstances, and it now compresses disk images a bit more tightly. Added the <a href=\"http:\/\/c-command.com\/dropdmg\/manual-ah\/use-less-temporary-disk\">Use less temporary disk space<\/a> preference, so that you can make DropDMG operate in the older, slower mode if your destination volume is running out of space.<\/li>\n<li>Disk image <a href=\"http:\/\/c-command.com\/dropdmg\/manual-ah\/layouts\">layouts<\/a> can now contain text boxes, with your choice of fonts, styles, colors, and shadows. Thus, it\u2019s no longer necessary to fire up a graphics program to update the text in your background picture.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/c-command.com\/dropdmg\/manual-ah\/layout\">Layout<\/a> text boxes can contain placeholder variables, which DropDMG will replace when creating the disk image. For example, if your disk image contains an application (e.g. <tt>DropDMG.app<\/tt>), the text <tt>${APP_SHORT_VERSION_STRING}<\/tt> will be replaced by the marketing version of the application (e.g. <tt>3.1<\/tt>).<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/c-command.com\/dropdmg\/manual-ah\/mount-image\">Mount Image\u2026<\/a> command now has a <strong>Shadow file<\/strong> option that lets you mount a read-only disk image as read-write. Any changes made to the mounted image will be written to the adjacent shadow file. This can be useful, e.g. if you want to use Spotlight to search a read-only disk image.<\/li>\n<li>DropDMG now supports <a href=\"http:\/\/c-command.com\/dropdmg\/manual-ah\/license\">license<\/a> agreements localized in Arabic, Greek, Russian, and Ukrainian.<\/li>\n<li>To ensure that background pictures display properly in the Finder, DropDMG now reports an error if you give it a picture file that\u2019s not 72dpi.<\/li>\n<li>Many operations when editing a disk image layout are now undoable.<\/li>\n<li>The license agreement editor text view now displays line breaks in the same places as the text view that the system uses when mounting the disk image.<\/li>\n<li>The <a href=\"http:\/\/c-command.com\/dropdmg\/manual-ah\/preferences\">Preferences<\/a> window now supports full screen mode (requires Mac OS X 10.7).<\/li>\n<li>Added the <a href=\"http:\/\/c-command.com\/dropdmg\/manual-ah\/burning-a-lion-installa\">Burning a Lion Installation DVD<\/a> section to the manual.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed a bug where, when creating an encrypted disk image with no specified passphrase, DropDMG sometimes failed to prompt for one.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed a bug where creating a new language for a license agreement appeared to do nothing if the license\u2019s name was in edit mode.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed a bug where the configuration\/layout\/license lists didn\u2019t properly update if you added an item while you were renaming another item.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed a bug where the source size reported in the log when mounting a disk image only counted the first segment.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed a bug that could cause DropDMG to create a <tt>.tar.bz2<\/tt> archive when you requested <tt>.tar<\/tt>.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed alignment of license button text fields.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed a bug with re-personalizing the application via URL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information, please see the <a href=\"https:\/\/c-command.com\/downloads\/manual\/DropDMGManual-3.1.pdf\">DropDMG Manual<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>2011-10-04: DropDMG 3.1 was submitted to the <a href=\"http:\/\/c-command.com\/store\/mac-app-store\/dropdmg\">Mac App Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>2011-10-13: DropDMG 3.1 is now available from the <a href=\"http:\/\/c-command.com\/store\/mac-app-store\/dropdmg\/\">Mac App Store<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download Buy DropDMG Version 3.1 of DropDMG is now available.
