Description
DropDMG configurations let you create named sets of these options, so that you can quickly switch between your favorite combinations rather than re-entering all the settings each time.
Another way to save a set of DropDMG options is to create an AppleScript droplet. You enter the options that you want into the script and save it as an application. When you drop files onto that application’s icon, DropDMG will create a create a disk image or archive. You can have multiple droplets for different collections of settings and just drag and drop on the one you want, without having to change the selected configuration in DropDMG’s window.
