CreateDMG Application Installation

Post by collectordave »

Always wanted to create those DMG files that allow you to drag icons to install worked it out and this little app automates the process.

When run you have three things to enter.

1) The application title. No spaces allowed maybe other characters not allowed as well.

2) The folder where your compiled app is use the button to select

3) An image for the background. I have only done the create option. Click the Select/create button then in the dialogue click Create and then Done.

Once all three are entered click the main form Create button.

This takes some time but after a few seconds use Finder to look in you documents folder you will find a folder DMGFiles in there will be your new DMG double click to mount.

Only tested by me so please try it out.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
