SPMUG 651 Creating DMG-Disk Image Want to avoid the tedious process of
opening Disk Utility, selecting Image > New > Image from Folder, and
then navigating to the folder you want to turn into a disk image? You
can. Drag-and-drop disk-image creation disappeared from OS X 10.3 but
quietly returned to OS X 10.4. Now, just drag your folder onto the Disk
Utility application icon -- whether it's in the Dock, the Finder, or the
Finder's sidebar or toolbar. Disk Utility will launch, displaying the
"New Image From Folder" dialog box. Select an image format (options
include Compressed and Read-Only), and then decide whether you'd like to
encrypt the image so only you can open it. That's it! ~ Rob Griffiths
