Enable Disk Copy's expert mode for hidden features

To enable Disk Copy Expert Mode, type the following in the Terminal (found in /Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal):

defaults write com.apple.diskcopy expert-mode 1
Quit the Terminal and launch (or quit and re-launch) Disk Copy (in /Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Copy). Under the Utilites menu, you will now see a new Debug menu which allows Verbose and Debug Mode settings. However, the best part of this hack are the options that are now available in Preferences on the Imaging tab. We now have a broad range of options under "Image Type" that were hidden to us before! Sweet!!

To disable this hack, simply open up Terminal again and type the following:
defaults write com.apple.diskcopy expert-mode 0
[robg adds: Amazing ... I thought we were well past the time period for hidden preference hacks, but this one's brand new to me!]
