Here’s a new beta version of DropDMG. The changes are:
- Worked around a macOS issue that could cause disk image creation to fail with a file permissions error or with DropDMG reporting that Finder failed to save the view options or icon positions for a layout.
- Improved DropDMG’s error reporting to AppleScripts and to the command-line tool when a disk imaging operation fails.
- If macOS incorrectly reports that DropDMG is damaged when installing or updating the app, we now have a Download Fixer tool to help.
- Added
MaxJobsto the esoteric preferences. This makes it possible to control how many operations DropDMG performs simultaneously. Normally, DropDMG will let you queue as many operations as you want and will execute two simultaneously. This balances the desire to quickly finish the first operation while still allowing other operations to complete. For example, encrypting a small document that you want to e-mail would not have to wait until backing up an entire hard drive had finished. You can also set DropDMG to execute only one operation at a time (e.g. to speed things up if you want to queue many operations that use the same slow hard drive) or three or more (e.g. if you are using fast SSD storage and your Mac has lots of processor cores).
