	May 28 2008	AIKOUSHA I can't use this, as it does the oddest thing... Anytime I enter a text box, and click a key, the application loses the ability to track keyboard or mouse events, and will no longer respond to any type of system calls (sorry no quitting, even from the dock). The only exit is by pulling up the Force Quit dialog. Thankfully opt-tabbing still worked, as does clicking on the background. Or I would have had to force a reset. Very, very odd.

EDDIE_KELLEY This problem was related to window size settings. Either removing preferences, or re-sizing the window may solve issues carried across from older versions of FreeDMG.

	Oct 14 2006	APPLEDOGX Really does create a dmg file easily. The only thing really missing is the ability to include a background image for the dmg window and hide the image file on the dmg. (Version 0.5.4b)		+1

	May 20 2006	PIAKO Yeah, so this program works good. :D The preferences are fairly advanced it seems. Still a little buggy. I would be willing to pay $5.00 to $10.00 for this application. Thanks for the ease of read-only volume creation. :) I use the create from volume function a lot to back up my CDs! (Version 0.5.4b)		0

EDDIE KELLEY The Web Server running at www.kelleycomputing.net is using a "performance cache". This allows the server to provide clients on the internet a cached version of the web page, without having to read from disk. This speeds up the browsing experience in some cases.

The reason little snitch was complaining, was because the port 16080 is used (instead of port 80). Little Snitch is telling you this because you have not chosen to trust connections using that port yet.

More information can be found by googling "web performance cache 16080".

ANONYMOUS FreeDMG is also crashing immediately on my machine (G5, running 10.2.8). Too bad it's happening with this version; all the ones before have been troublefree. Back to the drawing board on this one, I'm afraid.

	Jul 13 2005	GUNTIS I tried to contect the author about my problems to open FreeDMG, but his page doesn't respond to clicks on the Submit button... Not in hte Contact Me page, nor in Bug report page... He must be completely sunk in bugs... :( (Version 0.5.2b)		0

	Jul 13 2005	GUNTIS Today I upgraded my PB 15" to 10.4.2 and then downloaded FreeDMG (for the first time, to try it). But I cannot even open it - it crashes immediately... Probably something to do with the OS X 10.4.2 updated components... (Version 0.5.2b)		0

	Apr 11 2005	RUSSELL April 11th 2005 - I just used this newer version and like it alot. It preforms like v0.4.5 but the PASSWORD PROTECTION feature is especially nice! I had no problems with this newer release (v0.5.1b) and I'm using a G4 Digital Audio Mac, running OS-10.3.6, 1GHz Sonnet Processor with 1GB of RAM. (Version 0.5.1b)		0

	Mar 14 2005	ANONYMOUS Something disastrous has happened to FreeDMG in this new version. The last one (4.5) worked fine for me on a G5 under 10.2.8. The new one, on the other hand, just grinds away (on only a 10 meg folder) without doing anything. It appears to start mkdmg without going any further. Reinstalled the old version, and it worked fine again..... (Version 0.4.6b)		0

	Jan 23 2005	ARVID Very nice little app - appears more robust and quicker than Dimage which I was using. Also more features in prefs, though I would like to know more about compression types and what internet enabled means. Like the "image on the fly". Put this thing in your panther finder window toolbar and its just about as easy to access as the zip archiver from the contextual menu. (Version 0.4.5b)		0

	Jan 22 2005	ANONYMOUS Would love to try this out, but when I try making a DMG with it, all I get is an error dialog. The logs don't show anything other than the mkdmg command-line help (as if the app is not passing the right parameters). (Version 0.4.5b)		0

EDDIE KELLEY Thank you "Anonymous". This bug appears to occur when a user clicks the "Cancel" button that is in the preferences window. This problem can be avoided by clicking the "OK" button. This only occurs with FreeDMG v.0.4.5.

Please e-mail CrashReporter logs (~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/FreeDMG.crash.log) to .

This version has tested stable so far.

Thank you,
