DropDMG 3.6.9b1 Public Beta

Here’s a new beta version of DropDMG. The changes are:

  • Fixed a bug where converting a disk image would in some cases fail with an incorrect error about the destination folder being invalid.
  • Worked around a bug in macOS 15 where sometimes the system help viewer would not open the right help page. DropDMG will instead open help files in the user’s Web browser.
  • Tried to work around a macOS bug that could cause it to incorrectly report the DropDMG application file as damaged.
  • Made some changes to prevent DropDMG from triggering local network privacy prompts.
  • Improved the following sections of the manual:
  • When you click an esoteric preferences link to enable or disable debug logging, the change now takes effect immediately, without having to restart DropDMG.
  • The diagnostic report now includes information about the app’s logs, the crash logs folder, and components that could cause AppleScript errors.
  • Diagnostic report files are much smaller, as they no longer include excerpts from the verbose system console log, only from DropDMG’s own log files.
  • Removed various code that is no longer used.
