XENOPHILE  I ditched the payware DropDMG for the utterly awesome DMGConverter. Before switching I checked out several other DMGConverter competitors but none of them matched it's feature set, GUI/ease of use, or generally cool vibe. Even better, several weeks of use has proven DMGConverter's stability to be superior to that of DropDMG.

It's a rare freeware application that motivates me to donate - DMGConverter is one of those applications.

XENOPHILE  Awesome free software.

I was using DropDMG but DMGConverter is better for converting multiple images; I can drop dozens of DMG images on and it effortlessly converts them serially without choking like DropDMG does.

A few suggestions:

1. DMGConverter will only create new images from folders - I'd like to be able to drop a file or group of files on it to create an image. DropDMG can do this, so it's definitely possible.

2. When an image, file, or folder is dropped on it, DMGConverter should be able to figure out what to do. Currently I must switch to the "Convert" tab if I want to convert a disk image, or switch to the "new image" tab if I want a new image, adding extra steps to what should be a one step process. If I drop a folder is dropped on DMGConverter, then obviously I don't want to convert a disk image, likewise if an image is dropped on it, then usually I don't to make an image of an image. Make DMGConverter smart enough so I don't have switch modes all the time.

Otherwise, this is a great freeware app.

I plan to fix this problem by the next version.

MOOCAN  Hi,

Starting two days when I'm trying to create a dmg from a folder under my documents folder/subfolder or to convert an dmg from a file within my subfolders I have each time an error saying "error ID 2: no such file or directory".

now It only work if source folder or dmg file (for creation or convertion) is on the desktop.

It never happens before with old version.

Thanks for this great utility.

I'm on MacOSX 10.5.8.

PETER_EARTHMAN  A .DMG created with OS X 10.6 (GM) doesn't open under OS X 10.5

Needs a fix asap.

SUNSKYSOFT  Thank you for the report.

Can the dmg file made by using other software (FreeDMG,DropDMG,etc) on OS X 10.6 do the mount with OS X 10.5 or less?

Time might hang in the fix of this problem because the author is not using OS X 10.6 (GM) now. (and doesn't have OS X 10.6 (GM).)

SUNSKYSOFT  Thank you for the report.

This problem might be solved by starting after the preferences file is deleted.

Preferences file is in the following:

/ Library / Preferences / jp.sunskysoft.DMGConverter5.plist

This problem seems to occur uncommonly.

MACUPDATE ADMIN  http://sunsky3s.s41.xrea.com/dmgconverter/index.html says:

"Version 5.0.4r2 Universal Binary dmg.zip format (5.0MB) (2009/6/27)"

So the proper thing to do is to contact the developer and not post here with such matters.

There is no change in the application.

LOW FLYER  When trying to mount the DMGConverter 5.0.2.dmg on my eMac, running Mac OS X 10.4.11, the following msg appeared:

"The disk image you are opening may be damaged and could damage your system.

Are you sure you want to open this disk image?"

I went ahead mounting the disk image and installed the app which now works properly.

BIDULE  I had the same problem on PPC 10.4.10, but after mounting on Leopard Intel, I could use it on PPC. Another tip : burn the dmg with Disk Utility and grab the app.

However, new v. 5.0.3 mounts and works on PPC 10.4.10.

Thanks !

BIDULE  StrangeĀ… The archive unzipped, but after, the "DMGConverter 5.0.2.dmg" can't be opened on PPC 10.4.10 , even with Pacifist 2.0.1. I opened it on Intel 10.4.11 and then, the app works perfectly on both systems, PPC 10.4.10 and Intel 10.4.11, and I can open created dmg on 10.4.10PPC too.

Thanks !
